first of all, putting a \framed around it makes it unsplittable; best use the framed options that come with the floats Ok.
second, there's a problem in signaling the splitter, which demands a patch Please excuse my ignorance: can I add these patches just to my *.ctx file or do I have to edit the actual distributed file? If the latter is true: is it (in the case of 'core-ntb') './tex/context/base/core-ntb.tex' or '/base/core-ntb.tex' that need to be edited? How about 'page-flt'? Do I have to edit './tex/context/base/page-flt.tex' or './base/page-flt.tex'? Do I have to call 'texexec --make' afterwards?
Sorry for my novice-ness, Joh

this whole splitting has to be revised (although a two way singaling is not that trivial here)
