ConTeXt has many features but sometimes there is something missing, what
feature or package do you miss which is already available in another TeX
system or unavailable in any TeX system?
- Stable underlining across line- and pagebreaks with the finest
   typographic quality. This might be possible with luaTeX&  mplib.
already in mkiv ...

\starttext

\underbar {
     \dorecurse {10} {
         \input tufte
         \starttabulate
         \NC \underbar {test} \NC \input tufte \shiftup{\input tufte } 
\input tufte \NC \NR
         \stoptabulate
     }
}

\stoptext

plus some more on the agenda

however, underlining is not really part of fine typography
...
- Document-global optimization of page breaks. Of course with floats,
   multicol and parshapes. :-)
yeah, maybe some day ... not that trivial but you know that -)
