Hello,
I have tried to compile an old document (written in mkii times). Among
other problems that I yet need to isolate, the following minimal
example doesn't want to compile: $\bigl| x \bigr>$ since <|> aren't

I suppose that the behaviour in mkii comes from these lines:
\definemathcharacter [<] [nothing] [sy] ["68] [ex] ["0A]
\definemathcharacter [>] [nothing] [sy] ["69] [ex] ["0B]
I guess mkii is imitating plain tex here. (Though, I could not find how
this
is happening in plain tex)
From plain.tex:
\mathcode`\<="313C
\delcode`\<="26830A
The first (\mathcode) controls standalone use, the second (\delcode)
use as a delimiter. Both can be set at the same time, and that second
one got lost in the conversion, probably because it has a dedicated
slot in Unicode (U+0x27E8, MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET).
Perhaps this can be done with the mathspec field in char-def.lua, but
I do not know how?
The attached patch gives a working solution for lmmath but does not work
with cambria. I don't know if the latter is a fault of context mkiv or

In any case, this is a kludge as we have to define a dummy name. It will
be better if we could just say name=false. Currently, if I use name=false,
\left< gives an error.

rbrace!!. Probabably you want rangle. You can change the order of the two,
and then > will map to rangle, but you will have to use \gt to get the
relation symbol.

[NTG-context] local footnote (Tables) problem
After further experimentation, I am still stumped; so I am resending this.
The attached file will compile only if I comment out
(a) header=2pc in \setuplayout
or
(b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt]
or
(c) \placelegend
or
(d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
I am running MK2 using the penultimate beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. There is
no improvement when I run the file on the ConteXt wiki (latest beta).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tex is space-sensitive.
Use comment sign '%' as Aditya says , is a robust way to make code readable.
When I'm writing some small macro, I use them just from the beginning,
to avoid surprise after (like in this situation).
Anyway your example shows some strange things about overlap of rules
that I like to investigate.

Thank you, Taco, it works.
I changed the definition of

to
\definetextmodediscretionary {!!}
{\discretionary{-}{}{}\kern.03em\prewordbreak}
because the other ligatures (fl, fi, ft, fj etc.) might have to be
broken up, too.
However, I noticed that the |-| discretionary command produces wrong
results:

Ein

-Job
regardless of your definitions.
