Thanks for your answer ... this didn't solve my problem see attachment ...
the relevant mapping code is:
\defineXMLenvironment
  [chapter]
  {
    \defineXMLargument
      [title]
      {\chapter}
    \defineXMLenvironment
      [content]
      {}{}
  }
  {\section{References}\placepublications}
\defineXMLenvironment
  [section]
  {
  \defineXMLargument
    [title]
    {\section}
  \defineXMLenvironment
    [content]
    {}{}
  }
  {}
\defineXMLargument
  [cite]
  {\cite[\XMLpar{cite}{key}{}][\XMLpar{cite}{id}{}]}

XML for this bit looks as follows:
<chapter>
  <title>Introduction</title>
  <content>
    <section>
      <title>The problem of the complex protein mixture</title>
      <content>
        <p>
          <cite id="gott:00" key="authoryear"/><cite id="storz:02" 
          key="authoryears"/>
        </p>
      </content>
    </section>
    <section>

I see .. thanks for pointing that out!
