Hi Rik,
thanks again. Now I feel doubly stupid: First for not putting the distance into
\setupmarginrules, and second not realizing
that the disappearing dotted margin is due to my rule thickness=.1pt.
Anyway, both approaches work now. When I get a free weekend I will head into
metapost and se

while I did experiment I had no chance at divining the correct dimension

this works like a charm, with one exception: No matter what I try, the

Thanks Aditya,
my metapost skills will probably not suffice to start this from scratch, but
your hints made me dig around in the sources a little,
and in mp-apos.mpiv I found anch_sidebars_draw which not only draws the
straight marginrules but also dotted ones, to
be invoked with \startmarginrul
