In my last post I was saying that I'm tinkering about the idea of  
using Lulu.
It seems to be difficult with ConTeXt:

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

Hmm. I know that this:

http://www.lulu.com/content/113810

was generated with TeX.

I did this with LaTeX/Memoir/pdfTeX:
http://www.lulu.com/content/866835

And I ordered a copy which was just printed fine.

Although they officially only accept PDFs generated with Adobe Acrobat,
what they mean, is that they only guarantee that proper PDFs will print.
Many tools generate semi rotten PDFs.

I usually run 'pdfopt' on a PDF, which web optimizes a PDF by indexing
it's resources. Pdfopt usually errors on a rotten PDF, so this _can_ be
an indicator whether or not it'll print with Lulu. It's no guarantee
though.

So Lulu's policy seems rather bad on the surface, in practice working
with Lulu isn't that bad at all.
