You don't deserve an answer because this is not a MWE!

\startbuffer[test]
<something>
     <what>
         <what>
             here
         </what>
     </what>
</something>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{something|what}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}

\startxmlsetups xml:something
     \xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups

\startluacode
     function xml.finalizers.tex.depth(t)
         local d = 0
         local t = t and t[1]
         while t do
             d = d + 1
             t = xml.parent(t)
             if not t then
                 break
             end
         end
         context(d)
     end
\stopluacode

\startxmlsetups xml:what
     \xmldoifelse {#1} {..[name() == "what"]} {
         YES
     } {
         NOP
     }
     [\xmlflush{#1}]
     (\xmlfilter{#1}{./depth()})
\stopxmlsetups

\starttext
     \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{}
\stoptext

I might add it anyway (a faster variant that is),
