Hi,
the \digits command cause a error message with the last beta in MkIV.
This took much more longer than it should. In supp-num.tex, there is
this definition:
\def\dohandledigits
  {\mathcode`\,="013B \mathcode`\.="013A % pretty hard coded
   \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
   \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}
which is causing the trouble. I assume this is just to move them out of
the way, so replacing the two ones with zeroes probably works (?).
ok, so we need

\startmode[mkiv]

     \def\dohandledigits
       {\mathcode`\,="003B \mathcode`\.="003A % pretty hard coded
        \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
        \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}

\stopmode

\startnotmode[mkiv]

     \def\dohandledigits
       {\mathcode`\,="013B \mathcode`\.="013A % pretty hard coded
        \expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
        \ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}

\stopnotmode

it is on my agenda to rewrite digits in lua (we use it at pragma so i 
have a motive)
