Found it: the code needs to redefine the $BlockPattern variable to 
specify the
xml block tags. The pmwiki Keep function checks $BlockPattern and inserts a
'B' indicator into the keep id, then a markup rule looks for the 'B' 
indicator and
inserts a '<:block>' indicator.

When I redefine $BlockPattern it just works.
