Context is moving toward accepting XML input,
although the filtering process is necessarily
complex. But what is also needed is a version
of Context that produces well formed XML as an
output. That would be a step toward producing a
dual purpose document with Context, for print
and for e-book use. 

Context users have invested time, often years, in
learning how to write Context code. Writing XML is
a whole other skillset, comparable to writing xhtml.

So is writing a Context to XML converter a
possibility? A probability? The commercial
program InDesign already has such a capability.
