Context produces three relevant files:

darwin-xml-raw.xml
1. Which one of these three files is the one we want to convert to docx?
Only *-div.xhtml are (X)HTML files.
That was my guess, thanks.
2. I modified Alan's test file [same preamble]:
====
\starttext
\startquotation
\input darwin
\bf \input darwin
\stopquotation
\stoptext
====
darwin-xml-div.xhtml and darwin-xml-tag.xhtml show up in the browser,
but
the bold does not.
Well, I cannot see any bold in "<div class="break"><!--empty--></div>".
It seems to be how ConTeXt handles the blank line and the \bf command.
BTW, the quotation environment is not translated as blockquote and
paragraphs lack their <p> tags.
Hmm, perhaps a showstopper...
In Opera 12.17, darwin-xml-raw.xml gives a syntax error
====
XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 17, Character: 0)
====
It seems weird to me (that should be the error in Opera), that a <break
/> element is placed outside the <document> element.
But the "Reparse document as HTML" does work.
I guess this format won’t be understood by pandoc (unless you write an
specific reader for it).
Ouch, another showstopper...
-raw.xml is not what you need.
In each of the three cases, there is no bold effect at all.
What is needed to get the typography info transmitted?
I have no experience with xhtml export in ConTeXt. This is beyond my
knowledge. Sorry.
Aditya gave some of the answer. But his answer implies that I will have to
define a whole bunch of
\definehighlight[typography][style=mystyle]
commands and change my entire style of writing... Yet another showstopper
3. My assumption is this: If I can get the xml/xhtml file looking right
in
the browser, I should be able to build a working docx file via pandoc.
If it doesn’t look good in the browser, you won’t get it in pandoc. But
it might be that you get it right in the browser and not in pandoc.
It depends how ConTeXt outputs the XHTML.
But I may be able to save the browser output in an html format that pandoc
could read, right?
=====
So the conclusion would appear to be: There is as yet no easy solution to
convert context to docx. Given the bibliographical needs of this article:
It may be that I'll do it in ConTeXt and then ask the editors to let the
publisher -- it's a major publisher -- foot the bill for the conversion to
docx. The ironic thing is that this publisher may very well have the final
book done in TeX -- many of their books are typeset in TeX --, so we'll
see what happens.
Thanks to all of you for your help!
Best wishes
