If your web requirement is single XML files per article, you should be able to feed ConTeXt multiple XML files and typeset them as one PDF.

That being said, for the purpose of displaying the articles online we'll need every article in a separate XML file. The question is if and how we will produce a PDF version containing a whole volume (we'll probably need one PDF for the whole volume and also PDFs for each article).

One option would be:
- merge the articles into a single XML,
- typeset from there
- split the PDF
(Hence my question here, https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/095011.html).

Another option could be:
- Typeset each article individually.
- Get the last page number => in the next article, set the first page number to this + 1
(So, we do not necessarily need to write the page numbers back to the XML, but we'll somehow need to pass the page number to the next article in the chain.)

all depends on the workflow ... why does it need to be written back?
