for the moment it's mainly examns [i will clean up the dtd's soon]; the
other things are under construction [we are currently doing a couple of
projects that need both of them, and the idea is that context will provide
at least the frameworks in the distribution]; also, i'm extending figure
bases to resource libraries + tools.

[actually, i do have a simple xml interface to presentations, will
finish/document that some day]
there is indeed a mechanism for that, but not perfect; also, the PP way of
doing things is too fuzzy with regards to spacing
i recently played with a new mechanism in context, called collectors; i'll
see if i can find time to post an example since this is the best way to go
