Dear all,
I just discovered that pandoc produces xtables with named elements 
which produces these errors.

AFAICS it is not possible to define a named tablehead like this:

\definextablehead[head]

ConTeXt does not stop, so no big problem.

But it would offer styling opportunities in a production chain with 
pandoc if it is possible.

Do I miss something?

what version of context

i checked the wrong file (same name) .. i see the messages and they 
indicate that you refer to a "defined" somethign without defining it

so either ignore the messages or define them
