Erm - is that really needed? Today a typical journal's workflow s= hould
accept articles in LaTeX _markup_, convert that to XML and feed it to an XML formatter (which may well use TeX) eventually. I see ConTeXt's role=
there as the XML formatter. Or it could digest LaTeX markup - but then
it would need more than just the layout.
