[NTG-context] General Float Placement Question

Hi all,

Is it possible to combine placement attributes when specifying a floating
figure or table?

\placefloat[.1.][ref,..]{.2.}{.3.}
.1. left right here top bottom inleft inright inmargin margin page opposite
always force tall
.2. text
.3. text

In my case, I'd like to ensure that figures in a double-sided document
appear together, with the first on the left page and the second on the
right.  What I have reads:

\placefigure
  [90,opposite]
  [Fig:a]
  {Figure a caption goes here}
  \externalfigure[a][width=0.8\makeupheight]}

\placefigure
  [90]
  [Fig:b]
  {Figure b caption goes here}
  \externalfigure[b][width=0.8\makeupheight]}

For the first figure, will a location of [90,opposite] ensure a rotated
left-page figure?  Likewise, is it possible to ensure that the second figure
is forced to the next right page?

Cheers,
Randall
