Ok.
It seems that was the way to get the Plain TeX macros, so I thought it
would be the same for ConTeXt, apparently I was wrong.

I want to be able to tun a TeX document which uses macros that are
specific to the document I create. And I would like to separate the
macros from the actual document.
I thought that I could run my own set of macros (I guess this is called
a format, like Plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, ...). And to ease my work
(espacially around the utf-8 encoding) I wanted to use ConTeXt which
already provides high level features.

I guess I'm trying to do some kind of unsupported things.

Because ConTeXt provides some high level features (like utf-8, I have
no idea how to read utf-8 documents in plain TeX).

That, I can understand :)

So, I'll dig a little bit more to see what I can do.
Thanks for the answers.
