Is there a mtx-context-markdown.tex file on your system? What happens if 
you do:

context --extra=markdown --help

mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | extra: markdown 
(c:/data/develop/context/sources/mtx-context-markdown.tex)
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | usage: context --extra=markdown [options] list-of-files
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | --sort                   : sort filenames first
mtx-context     | --paperoffset=dimension  : left-top-offset
mtx-context     | --duplex                 : doublesided (singlesided is 
default)
mtx-context     | --backspace=dimension    : extra left offset
mtx-context     | --topspace=dimension     : extra top offset
mtx-context     | --bodyfont=specification : additional bodyfont 
specification
mtx-context     | --contents               : add table of contents

In due time we can extend the parser (given that I know the specs). Btw, 
the more extensions you have, the more one can consider other approached 
(context with export or just xml).
