Hans, if that were possible, I would like to make two proposals (that come from the roadmap thread [https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/091512.html]). It took me two months to catch up. I think it could be interesting to have the implementation of vertical scaling (as Hermann Zapf suggested to you) to avoid orphan an widows in MkIV (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/091541.html). As mentioned in the past (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/091525.html), I would like to have notes that handle automatically page registers. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the ConTeXt Meeting. But the notes with automatic page registers may qualify as unusual usage of ConTeXt. These are relevant for language-learning texts (such as https://geoffreysteadman.com/platos-crito/). Many thanks for your excellent work with ConTeXt, LuaTeX and MetaPost, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
