Thanks Wolfgang ! It works well : clear and (apparently) simple.

The missing hyphentation has nothing to do with floats, footnotes or paired boxes but a result of the default alignment setting for natural tables. To change the default value for the alignment you can use the align key for \setupTABLE.15. August 2016 um 15:05Dear List,
In order to verify the mechanism with a French document, I have set the code sample given by Wolfgang for paired boxes with align footnotes through French language commands. And I have substitute 2 French texts to 'Content' (after removing previous \input tufte and \input ward), and fill the tables titles with my own. All is fine, except hyphenation which seems to be an issue here : see in the first text the word 'automatiquement'.
\mainlanguage[fr]
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\starttext
\setupTABLE[start][align=normal]
%\setupTABLE[start][align=flushleft]
%\setupTABLE[start][align={flushleft,broad}]

« Dans la société présente, où le jeu de la spécialisation
s’est outré automatiquement, les fonctions intellectuelles
et les fonctions manuelles ne sont presque jamais attribuées
aux mêmes ouvriers ; les ouvriers intellectuels délaissent
presque tout le travail des mains ; les ouvriers manuels
délaissent presque tout travail de l’esprit, presque tout
exercice de la raison. »
