As far as I can see ConTeXt does not understand utf-8 encoding.

Where did you find this note mentioning utf?

I just read one report abut the problem to publish Unicode documents - FO &
similar converters are not mature enough, PassiveTeX isn't easy to install,
Omega has its own problems ..

Some time ago I saw a post on DocBook list from Sebastian Rahtz who is 
considering to rewrite PassiveTex with ConTeXt support instead of LaTeX.

However, I'm wondering what is the present route for those wanting to get
their utf-8 encoded documents published in ConTeXt?

DocBook is very valuable tool enabling to author documents with DocBook and thenget high quality output with ConTeXt & TeX.

The question remains, how to do it with multi-lingual document encoded in utf-8?

Any hint?

Sincerely,
Gour
