No, that will not work.
After much probing I found the culprit.
The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not reduces it to the given size.
Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary:
   \vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ...

Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set the hsize when a specific width is given?


\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
   \startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
       \input tufte
   \stopframedtext
   \startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
       \input zapf
   \stopframedtext
\egroup


Why is it not possible to simply use the \framed command (with some magic option to
put text into it) to do the obove thing?
   \startframed[width=.5\textwidth, xxxx]
       \input tufte
   \stopframed
   \startframed[width=.5\textwidth, xxxx]
       \input zapf
   \stopframed


in most cases you can use framed (make sure that you set 'align' to something in order to enter vmode)

framedtext is a bit more clever and handles some spacing issues


If it is impossible, is there any equivalent to de minipage or \parbox LaTeX
equivalent?

i dunno what those are, vboxes?
