Re: [NTG-context] alternating items in an itemization

I'd like to define an itemization that has two kinds of items, representing a
dialogue between two people. (One could imagine extending this to more than
two.) I'd like to have something like this:
\startdialogue
\john What did you have for breakfast?
\mary I skipped breakfast today.
\john Oh, why?
\mary Because I wasn't hungry. I was too distraught at what had happened the
previous night.
\stopdialogue
The \john and \mary parts would each be their own paragaphs. The paragraphs
would be colored with different text backgrounds, and joined up with one
another (that is, the blocks of text representing the paragraphs for the
different speakers would be adjacent to one another).
Solution 1:
\definetextbackground[john-background][frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=green]
\definetextbackground[mary-background][frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=red]
\defineenumeration
[john]
[text=John: ,
width=3em,
number=no,
location=left,
before={\starttextbackground[john-background]},
after=\stoptextbackground]
\defineenumeration
[mary][john]
[ text=Mary: ,
before={\starttextbackground[mary-background]},
after=\stoptextbackground]
\starttext
\john What did you have for breakfast?\par
\mary I skipped breakfast today.\par
\startjohn Oh, why?\stopjohn
\startmary Because I wasn't hungry. I was too distraught at what had happened
the previous night.\stopmary
\stoptext
Solution 2:
\usemodule[annotation]
\definetextbackground[john-background][frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=green]
\definetextbackground[mary-background][frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=red]
\defineannotation
[john]

\john{What did you have for breakfast?}
\mary{I skipped breakfast today.}
\startjohn Oh, why?\stopjohn
\startmary Because I wasn't hungry. I was too distraught at what had happened

Thanks! These fit the bill. (I note, though, that in the
annotation-based solution, the texts John and Mary don't show up.
Otherwise the annotation solution is just what I am looking for.)
