This is similar to my strategy today. I create a pandoc markdown file 
from my ConTeXt source using a simple script and generate ConTeXt output 
containing just the bibliography using pandoc. This output needs some 
minor tweaks, again scripted, to do things like replace the space in 
/Vol. 999/ with a non-breaking space to keep the following number on the 
same line and to convert /\em/ and such to taggable macros that I define 
in my environment. The result is ConText source that can be further 
edited (if necessary) and inserted where needed/./ I have not extended 
it to multiple bibliographies in  a single document, although that 
should not be difficult.

Another possibility would be for ConTeXt, under control of a flag or 
setting, to generate an editable bibliography file that could be 
included under control of a second flag or setting.
