Hello Hans,
What is now the right mechanism, to trigger some setting when a specific language is activated and cancel this same setting, when this language is deactivated?
Example: when entering French language, I want to execute "\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]" and when leaving French I want to execute "\setcharacterspacing[reset]".
(today the file http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-french/tex/context/third/french/t-fren... is broken, because I don't know how to do it right... :(
you can then probably just enable it as i cannot imagine a document which uses mixed typographical habits that still looks right anyway, there will be some mechanism but probably more at the level of the features itself (i.e. as part of setcharacterspacing) as there have to be ways to turn on/off specific language bound features. The mkii language specifics were mostly meant for encoding issues and those trigger points have disappeared as encodings are gone now.
