I never thought of them, good to have someone mention this.

Something like:
\def\startabstract
{\dostartbuffer[abstract][startabstract][stopabstract]}
\startsetups titlepage
\getbuffer[abstract]
\stopsetups
\def\starttitlepage
{\begingroup
\placetitle}
\def\stoptitlepage
{\setups{titlepage}
\endgroup}
\setuptitle
[author=...,
title=...]
or
\starttitlepage
[author=...,
title=...]
\startabstract
...
\stopabstract
...
\stoptitlepage

To many ideas and too less time and motivation :-)
