1. The microtypography of such textual labels is not the same in all languages/countries: at least some require a change in the actual ordering (prefix vs. postfix labels)
2. (and this is more important) Laziness from me. Not a good reason, I know, but that's how it is.
This is a BAD new. I think it's important. It could be marked the difference (in the bibliographyc world) about ConTeXt and other systems. Unfortonately I have not enough knowledge for doing that so I depend of you ;-) Please, reconsider it. I think it will be a day of work for you (at least with preliminary version - not right-to-left languages). In a long time, please put in your todo list the implementation of babelbib [http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/babelbib.html] in ConTeXt Thanks a lot, Xan.
Best wishes, Taco
