For newbies like myself: the stanza is to be put in private.xml. Here's how to do that.

  1. Open Karabiner, click on the "Misc & Uninstall" tab.
  2. Click on "Open private.xml" button besides "Custom Setting". A Finder window will open on a folder containing private.xml.
  3. Open the file with a text editor, then put the stanza inside the stanza you will already find in the file. Save the file.
  4. Go back to Karabiner, click on "Change Key" tab, then click "Reload XML" button.

If you try to search for "Map NumLock to OSX NumLock function" (the first characters will suffice) you will find the setting ready to be enabled.
