I find it a bit surprising that ConTeXt gives 'missing } inserted' with: \starttext\startformula \mathop=^{\rm def} \stopformula\stoptext (\mathop{=}^... is fine, though). The above formula is correct in Plain (Lua)TeX (in fact, it is copied from The TeX Book). Why does ConTeXt need braces? (Before you point it out: I know that I should use \stackrel…) Nicola
