Earlier this year I attempted to set tabular material using ConTeXt while 
meeting *all* the following requirements:
  > Some columns need fixed width, content must wrap to multiple lines
  > Multi-page tables
  > Column headings must repeat on every page
  > Additional header information is required on every page 
  > Additional footer information containing tabular text and graphics is 
required on every page
  > Forced page breaks on arbitrary selected rows
  > Horizontal rules between specified groups of rows

I was unable to meet all these requirements and reverted to LaTeX. It works, 
but I prefer ConTeXt and the LaTeX version takes a painfully long time to 
converge on optimal column widths. I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 
- has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements?
