The scaling in \externalfigure[][] with option sy=number seems to have a discrete change in behaviour between sy=1.0 and sy=(not 1.0).The MWE (see below, FIGURE REMOVED BECAUSE OTHERWISE MESSAGE TOO LARGE) shows that factor sy≠1.0 is applied to the original height of the figure, but for sy=1.0

This line of code comes from the xml documentation (page 31):

It should select among the 's those with .

There is -- in my perception -- a problem with the interaction between font
style and font size changes.
The order of calling for example \it\small matters because \small\it leads to
a different result.
I would however reason that size and style changes should be in orthogonal
spaces, that is:
Calling "\bf\tfa TEXT" for example leaves the TEXT not in bold because \tfa
does not respect the current style. As does \small, etc.

\small=protected macro:\triggergroupedcommand {\setsmallbodyfont \tf }

Here is something I do not understand about \usemodule.
My modules are in two places because I wanted development and production

There is something I do not understand in the passing of parameters from TeX to
LuaTex.
This is my TeX definition:
\def\ListSort[#1]#2{\directlua{hvdm.listsort([===[#2]===],[===[#1]===])}}
Calling \ListSort[sep={ + }]{} delivers the string 'sep={ + }' into LuaTeX as
the printout in the logfile
I guess the underlying library calls are from Lua5.4? Then it is perhaps useful
to know that between 5.3 and 5.4 there is mentioned a new implementation for
math.random. Perhaps it changes the sequence of random values generated?
Someone who knows?
