That's why I'm immersed in DB--dual output. I've tried ConTeXt but decided not to go that route for my current project. And I certainly agree, in general, I shouldn't be making local design decisions, but sometimes, when under time pressure, it's the only way to go (I know, I know the downside, too). It would be nice to have the power to go low level if need be (that's why I love C++).
