So if I understand wml,  I agree that xml is a format for filtering,
not a human writable format.
TeX, LaTeX or conTeXt is in input langage, which should be able to
be converted to the powerfull master XML format.

So we need something to convert ConTeXt to XML more than something.
I suppose this imply easy convertion to HTML too !

So my question was, is there any exeprience about the use of
the ConTeXt module "m-tex4ht"?
