But if you use something derivative of pslatex, you shouldn't have to study undocumented PS code.  That should be handled correctly already.  You'd need simply to supply the proper syntax for the text that ConTeXt requires as opposed to what LaTeX requires.

Unless ConTeXt is improving on TeX graphics, from what I've seen PostScript is better than TeX graphics.  Much nicer looking and controllable arrows, etc.
