Why not, I have nothing against a few predefined title pages layouts.
Somewhat related: it would be nice if there was some common code for titles (books as well as articles).

Anyway, the maps module contains all the code to do everything. And the same is true for the TUG module. And for quite a few others I have laying around. Lots of duplicate code all over, so a common framework would be great. I've been meaning to write one for a long time, but somehow I never quite get around to actually doing it.
Just saying this to let you know that I would really welcome a module with commands like \setuptitle, \definetitle, and \placetitle.
I agree with that. It will be really nice to have a module that does a few "simple" titles (alternate=(a|b|c), etc.) For one of my personal modules, I was following something along the lines of the maps module. But I find Wolfgang's solution on the wiki to be more ConTeXtish than what all other modules use.
Hi Aditya, could you use a few lines what do you expect from a placetitle/placetitlepage command or a titlepage environment. What should we do with the abstract, did it depend on the document title ... Wolfgang
