Hi Hans

===== TABLE produces a spurious dot in the following (look closely at the center of
the dot is a division line between your span
I replaced \VL with \DC and the dot disappears. There is still something wrong with \DL \DC \DR. Look very closely at the right edge of the attached table: There is a gap between 2 stacked vertical lines instead of one. If you exchange the commented line with the one below it disappears (I suspect that \VL overwrites the \DR). Interestingly, the gap appears to be the same size as the spurious dot-) See also absolute page 42 of the ConTeXt excursion. In the typeset table, to the right of `Table', the same gap appears. (I have not tested your new code yet to see if this resolves that) Thanks as always for your help!
