I have. Also regarding rtf or/and odt.
Since you do not need any fancy features, a simpler option is to use markdown as your starting format and use pandoc to convert it to context, html, and odt. However, creating even slightly complicated tables in markdown is a pain, unless your editor supports an ascii table mode.
This is indeed a decent solution, one which worked for typesetting my thesis in PDF and HTML. (You get RTF and ODT for free, assuming it doesn't take much glue to get it to look the way you want). I had to write a wrapper script to do regular expression parsing to take care of edge cases (pandoc is written in Haskell, so to 'scripting' the application requires working in that language; my choice was to do a more hackish approach that used a Ruby script that generated multiple markdown files)
Aditya, do perhaps know one of these editors with ASCII table mode?
