This is IMO the best you can currently get:

Most natural way for XML processing is XSLT transformation (kind of functional 
programming language). 

It is advisable to choose one of standardized vocabulary (DocBook, DITA, TEI) 
what give you a set of out-of-the-box XSLT stylesheets for common output 
formats. And in some tools, e.g. Oxygen, you can get additional level of 
comfort (various schema related functionality boosting your productivity) over 
using your own XML structure.

In case of DocBook you can get even Context output using this XSLT set:
http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/ (there is a dbcontext part in the download 
section)

Actually, this is my way of using ConTeXt, but with various MKIV compatibility 
tweaks. From the same DocBook XML source I am producing epub and also WebHelp 
(set of HTML pages).
