Context is moving toward accepting XML input,

complex. But what is also needed is a version

dual purpose document with Context, for print
and for e-book use.
What do you mean with 'accepting' xml input? It accepts xml input
already for many years. And in mkiv filtering is part of the game too.
Context users have invested time, often years, in
learning how to write Context code. Writing XML is
a whole other skillset, comparable to writing xhtml.
It's not so different if you're accustomed to structure.
So is writing a Context to XML converter a
possibility? A probability? The commercial
program InDesign already has such a capability.
There are export possibilities (and there will be a bit more). This is a
topic at the upcoming ctx meeting (where we set priorities).
