Hi Jano,

It's not clear to me what you want to measure when but here is a weekend 
playground (you're locked down anyway).

\def\MacroJano#1%
   {\writestatus{JANO}{ONE}
    \setbox0=\hbox\bgroup\xmlflush{#1}\egroup}

\startluacode
     function document.FunctionJano(id)
         context.writestatus("JANO","ZERO")
         token.expand_macro("MacroJano",true,id)
         context("%p",tex.box[0].width)
         context.writestatus("JANO","TWO")
     end
\stopluacode

\startbuffer[doc]
<?xml version "1.0"?>
<document>
     <section>one</section>
     <section>one two</section>
     <section>one two three</section>
</document>
\stopbuffer

\startxmlsetups xml:name
     \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups

\xmlregistersetup{xml:name}

\startxmlsetups xml:section
     width: \ctxlua{document.FunctionJano("#1")}\par
\stopxmlsetups

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

\starttext

     \xmlprocessbuffer{xml:name}{doc}{}

\stoptext

A clue: token.expand_macro will kind of 'run a local tex job'.

If this works for you. you know the price you have to pay ... wikify

Hans
