Is there a reason not to use userdata.myluadimension? Or is document.myluadimension safe, because myluadimension is almost certainly not an entry used by ConTeXt? Is using document.myluadimension better "style" here, in some sense? Somewhere I had gotten the idea that if a ConTeXt user wanted to store something in Lua, they ought to store it in the userdata namespace.
Sure. Actually the document namespace has some functions so there is more danger in a clash there, so userdata is better.
