What is the correct way to typeset an abbreviation in ConTeXt? The space after the full stop seems too big and if I use \thinspace, I cannot use ties.

No command - space is too big

\starttext

Mr. John Doe

\stoptext

With tie - space is too big

\starttext

Mr.~John Doe

\stoptext

With \thinspace - looks right except at an end of line

\starttext

Mr.\thinspace John Doe

\stoptext

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
