I asked this question recently and was told that it was probably pretty safe now to use mkiv, "as the developers use mkiv themselves". My experience is that mkiv is not totally stable, but almost so. I try to use it for my production as much as possible. For the core of the commands, the two are interchangable and it is simply a question of using the "context" script or the "texexec" script (but don't include a % output=pdftex line in your source file!) For specific differences, you can use \doifmodeelse{mkiv}{ }{ } This also answers 2. > 3. What *reference* material exists? I do not need a user guide. Right > now it has been Google.

It is a reference manual http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-eni.pdf http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf The first is a "screen" version, the second a "paper" format.
