because that certainly appears to be the case. More
specifically, the example (from 2011) fails, complaining about
an undefined control sequence with \analyzecurrentreference.
As others pointed out in related discussions, there is another
serious shortcoming with this. References should be relative to
the current page spread, which on doublesided layouts includes
two pages, verso and recto. A reference to something on either
of these pages is traditionally considered to be current, and
above and below refer to previous and subsequent page spreads.
There is a module, smartref, by Marco Patzer, that may address
the needs of the original poster. It has some limitations, but
generally addresses the issue quite well. See the list message
at
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg71889.html
for more on smartref.
(The primary limitation in my use is that it assumes that a
following argument, as in
\smartref{preceding}{following}[label], should follow the
at
page number text, thus disabling the use of the following
text to provide a subfigure label. Thus, one ends up with "see
figure 6.4 at page 73a" instead of "see figure 6.4a at page
73".)
