I think that would be a bad idea. The TeXbook, for example, does not restrict itself to documenting only primitives. Instead, a reasonable working macro set plainTeX (including allocation and user-level accent generating macros and lots of other basic stuff built from primitives) is the basis of the book throughout.
So the obvious solution would be Hans and Yannis sitting down together to write a book about both the technical and theoretical aspects, with Hans describing ConTeXt and Yannis enhancing _Fonts and Encodings_ And Taco supervising :-)
(Yeah, never gonna happen. *I know*)
Lets make things simpler. How about a book just explaining the techincal aspects of ConTeXt MkIV (yeah, yeah, I know ... but worth a try :-) Aditya
