XML context item is handled as a string
When you assign a childless XML to a context item,
assumes that the context item value is contained in the text content only.
However, if there are children, then the value is the entire XML document: <list><element color="blue">sample</element></list>.
Workaround
Use the embedded XML. If a childless node is required for processing, create the node using XSLT.
