Is there any specific naming convention for these XML files to work with KATE? Would it be fine to call it 'cython-mode-kate.xml' to push it to the repo? Will it still work (I mean, with that name) when placed appropriately in KATE config dirs or whatever? ... Just concerned that 'cython.xml' is a bit too generic filename...

You can name it anything you want. The file has an entry like this:

<language name="Cython with NumPy" version="1.1" kateversion="2.4" section="Sources" extensions="*.pyx;*.pxi;*.pxd"

that tells KDE what this is and where to put it.

I was thinking of changing section to "Scientific", because that I where I want to put "Python with NumPy" as well. It makes sence to have NumPy highlighting alongside Matlab and Octave.
