That would mean we’d avoid the tikz module, every TikZ diagram will get written to a buffer of configurable name, and that (with preamble setup) will get run through LaTeX. I read pgf had some restrictions in plain TeX mode, but perhaps we can also use LuaTeX in plain mode to avoid the LaTeX dependency.

Thank you (and Henri)! But we’d need to include the same setup header every time, so the filter module is probably really the best way.
There’s just a problem with labels, I guess, if I go the filter-LaTeX or filter-TeX route. So filter-ConTeXt might make sense.
I think I understand now why integrating MetaPost made a lot of sense.
