Why not, I have nothing against a few predefined title pages layouts.
Somewhat related: it would be nice if there was some common code for titles (books as well as articles). The Maps module currently defines an article in this fashion: \starttext \startArticle [Title=..., Author=..., RunningAuthor=...] % etc. etc. \startAbstract ... abstract ... \stopAbstract \startKeywords ... comma-separated keywords ... \stopKeywords ... body ... \stopArticle \stoptext Obvious weak point: the Abstract / Keywords are too late to influence typesetting of the title (page). Of course that could be fixed by using named buffers and/or an explicit \maketitle-like command. Anyway, the maps module contains all the code to do everything. And the same is true for the TUG module. And for quite a few others I have laying around. Lots of duplicate code all over, so a common framework would be great. I've been meaning to write one for a long time, but somehow I never quite get around to actually doing it. Just saying this to let you know that I would really welcome a module with commands like \setuptitle, \definetitle, and \placetitle. Best wishes, Taco
