Additionally, if you want to cite page numbers, the key to use in
ConTeXt-SBL is "loctext". (I was not aware of an "extra" key when I was
developing the module.) So, you should be able to make the ConTeXt-style
\cite command work as follows:

```
\cite[loctext=2][na2006]
```

I hope this helps, too!
