Really? Wow! So if if the requirements for some document are hanging indents footnotes, and I have asked how to do them on the mailing list, and no one gives me a solution; and I then use my solution and create a nice looking document and satisfy the requirements, say for the thesis committee--that is *worse* than producing a document that does not fulfill the requirements and is not accepted? Wow, that's amazing that Patrick Gunlach as power over the editors and committees. >There is nothing(!) worse than mixing visual markup with > logical markup this way. Except no solution at all when you have a deadline to meet and must produce a document. Or except global warming. A little perspective would be nice. >We are in a fully programmable environment, > and it is extremely unConTeXtish to hack the visual appearance. I am an XML author, so am pretty amazed to hear that one should not mix appearance and content in ConTeXt. Most of a ConTeXt document involves visual appearance.

But until I see a concrete solution, I will continue to use and post my solution. A rule of etiquette is that if you don't have a better solution, or don't want to document it, don't attack the current solution, not matter how impure.
