Hi,
at the context meeting it was concluded that there is no reason for mkiv
to be fully downward compatible.
one thing that i consider removing is the 'background=screen' option
from \framed. After all, screens internally already are just grayscales
and the old 'method' mechanism is no longer valid given postscript and
pdf technologies
in practice it means that those who use it (in mkiv) will have to use
colors (grayscales) instead (the last time that i used screens myself is
 sometime last century)
Can you now add left|right|top|bottomoffset to \framed.
maybe when core-rul gets two versions, mkii and mkiv (and even then i 
need to check for interferences); the whole structure system comes first 
(sectioning, lists, references, numbering, blocks etc)
