A bit like this:
- Convert the whole bibliography database to html using pandoc in the
preferred cs rendering. That should be fast.
- Use the normal context commands for referencing a citation (the cite
part is normally easy as there is not much variation in that; if
needed one can cheat and also pregenerate that). That's then just some
relatively small plugin mode.
- When placing the bibliography, filter the right entries from that
html file (easy) using info that got stored in the tuc.
It is also fast. The only depdency then is pandoc but that is widely
available (irr). But I would need to see an example of that kind of
out first. We basically treat the (formatted) bibliography as an
external resource but in some format that we can easily parse (and if
needed tweak).

This is similar to my strategy today. I create a pandoc markdown file
from my ConTeXt source using a simple script and generate ConTeXt output
containing just the bibliography using pandoc. This output needs some
minor tweaks, again scripted, to do things like replace the space in
/Vol. 999/ with a non-breaking space to keep the following number on the
same line and to convert /\em/ and such to taggable macros that I define
in my environment. The result is ConText source that can be further
edited (if necessary) and inserted where needed/./ I have not extended
it to multiple bibliographies in a single document, although that
should not be difficult.
Another possibility would be for ConTeXt, under control of a flag or
setting, to generate an editable bibliography file that could be
included under control of a second flag or setting.
