 Sure.  But editing the file is oh so much easier when I can just type
\def\japChapterNumber#1{第#1章}
than if I have to look up the unicode numbers first and type
\def\japChapterNumber{\uchar{123}{44}#1\uchar{122}{224}}

 That implies that ConTeXt should switch off all conversions when
running in XeTeX and seeing \startregime[utf], right?  (I certainly want
 to use the whole thing in XeTeX, if I ever do start it.  I would prefer
not to make the code depend on that.  I could live with som \if...
switches at the beginning and end, sure.)
