No. I think that Hans meant that you should be able to generate an html
document directly out of context (instead of the xml document that is
currently generated).

Another possibility is to just write html (rather xhtml) and process it
directly in ConTeXt. See the XML manual and Thomas's MyWay on processing
XHML.

I don't know about the lua librarties.

In the long run, if you want multiple formats for a document that is
slightly complicated, translating the input to xml is the easiest
solution.

You can also consider richer ascii markups: rst and asciidoc.
Unfortunately, pandoc only has partial support for rst, and the default
tools for rst and asciidoc do not export to context.
