On nomarking functionality in MKIV:

I manage short/long figure captions using a selector:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\defineselector [caption] [max=2,n=2] % alternate {short}{long} captions

...

\placefigure [here] [fig:reference]
  {\select{caption}
    {short}
    {long}
  }
  {figure}

...

\chapter{Liste des figures}
\start
 \setupselector [caption] [n=1]
 \placelistoffigures [criterium=all]
\stop
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Similarly to
\startchapter [title=long,list=short]
could we have:
\placefigure [here] [fig:reference] [caption={long},list={short}]
  {figure}

Could this coexist with the current syntax:
\placefigure [here] [fig:reference]
  {caption}
  {figure}

Alan

By the way, \select{caption} does not follow the general syntax rule
whereas metadata is contained between []
and text to be typeset between {}
One should thus rather have
\select [caption] {short} {long}
or even
\selectcaption {short} {long}
to be coherent.
