I would like to know that too :-) I have not yet found the time to
find out how Context deals with encodings. I only have a note that
says that one should do \useXMLfilter [utf], and that I should have a
look at the xtag-utf (which is input by the above command) or enco
files.

I would hope that context develops generic input encoding support, so
that I only have to scan the encoding value in the XML declaration,
and input the appropriate encoding file.
