did you read details.pdf ? Lots of margin stuff with figures in there

Hello,
this weekend i looked a bit into details.pdf an came up with a solution
of my figure placing problem: [...]
Now, the figures are at my desired places. But i have three different
kinds of figures and three different lists of figures.
1) Is it possible, to have only one list of figures, numbering all
figures with the same counter? My first
    attempts with \definecombinedlist did not work.
Defining a new float gives another floating object with its own counter,
\definefloat[myfloat][figure]

will give you \myfloat which inherits from \figure
...
list, etc.
Maybe you can stay with only one kind of float. The following looks like  
the expected rendering, but I don't understand the default placement of  
the second large figure.
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout[width=middle,
              cutspace=2.3in,
              margindistance=.25in,
              leftmargin=0.5in,rightmargin=2.3in]
\setuplayout[backspace=\dimexpr(\leftmarginwidth+\leftmargindistance)]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
% float defs
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\setupfloat[figure][minwidth=\rightmarginwidth,
                     criterium=\rightmarginwidth,
                     location=middle,
                     default={outermargin,here}]
\showframe
%=======================================================================
\starttext
%=======================================================================
\placelistoffigures
\hairline
The very first page with a small image in the (bigger) margin.
\placefigure
   {a margin image}
   {\framed[width=\marginwidth,height=3cm]{image}}
\inmargin{Tufte text}
\input tufte
And now a larger image in the text and margin
\placefigure[inner]{a text+margin image}
   {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}}
\dorecurse{14}{Some text. }
\placefigure[middle]{a text image}
   {\framed[width=.3\textwidth,height=1cm]{text image}}
\dorecurse{14}{Some text.~}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
\page
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The second page  with a small image in the (bigger) margin.
\placefigure
   {a margin image}
   {\framed[width=\marginwidth,height=3cm]{image}}
\input tufte
And now a larger image in the text and margin
%
% Default placement sounds strange to me...
% Force with middle to have the entire figure visible
%
%\placefigure{a text+margin image}
\placefigure[middle]{a text+margin image}
   {\framed[width=1.2\textwidth,height=3cm]{image}}
\inmargin{Tufte text}
\input tufte
\placefigure[middle]{a text image}
   {\framed[width=.3\textwidth,height=1cm]{text image}}
\stoptext
