Dear Henning, before I started to use context I had prepared some diagrams in xypic. It was the only way I knew for creating vector graphics for both tex and pdftex with text and graphics interaction possibility. For that experience I strongly discourage for using it with context: 1) Xypic has the most obscure syntax I have ever seen. 2) Nobody knows if there are not some name-space problems (redefinitions). 3) Metapost is naturaly incorporated to context, strongly supported, higher possibilities and (my opinion) much more intuitive. So I think that such a contextgarden xypic page would be only confusing. vit P.S. If you are still interesting google for xypic manual.
