Sounds great. If you need a tester, I'll be more than happy to provide lots of awkward cases and sift through them. In the meantime, is it possible to enable/disable ConTeXt's UTF-8 handler selectively for pieces of text? such as: \starttext \enableregime[utf] - some Unicode text processed by CoNTeXt for diacritics etc. - \disableregime[utf] - some Unicode text in some other script processed natively by XeTeX - \stoptext That would do the job in the meantime.
