Hi there. Sounds as if we're after similar things. I've been working on
similar stuff, expanding on the existing x-contml module with code in
this project:
<http://oo2contml.sourceforge.net/>
(The source code link may be instructive.)

><formula label="fm:whatever>
>  x^{2} < y
></formula>

I use the following, as "heavily influenced" by Hans:

%D Recommended by Hans as a variant of \type{\XMLtex}:
\unprotected\def\XMLtexdata#1%
   {\begingroup
    \disableXML
    \scantokens\@EA\@EA\@EA{\csname\@@XMLdata:#1\endcsname}%
    \endgroup}

%D Display|| and in||line math using \TeX\ syntax:
\defineXMLenvironmentsave
   [context:dispformula] [label=]
   {}
   {\startformula[\XMLop{label}]
     \XMLtexdata{context:dispformula} \stopformula}
     
\defineXMLenvironmentsave
   [context:formula] []
   {}
   {\mathematics{\XMLtexdata{context:formula}}}
