I attempted to declare xmlify like that:

fun xmlify
   [ctx ::: {Unit}]
   [t ::: {Type}]
   (fl : folder (map (fn _ =>  xml ctx [] []) t))
   (r : record (map (fn _ =>  xml ctx [] []) t))
      : xml ctx [] [] =
     @mapX [ident] [ctx]
       (fn [nm ::_] [t ::_] [r ::_] [[nm]~r] x =>  x)
         fl r

The [ident] above indicates the type-level identity function, which doesn't mesh with the type you chose for [r], and which explains why the compiler expects [x] to have type [t]. Instead of [ident], you should write [fn _ => xml ctx [] []] again.

By the way, you'll probably find use of this function easier if you change the kind of [t] to [{Unit}]. Since you're ignoring the types stored inside [t] at present, type inference won't be able to reconstruct them uniquely from context.

Oh, and to make that more concrete, if I replace [{Type}] with [{Unit}], then your example works with one small type annotation to guide the choice of [ctx]: val all : xbody = xmlify { A = <xml><p>blabla</p></xml> , B = <xml><p>zzz</p></xml> }

Without that change, undetermined unification variables remain.
