Hans should probably answer the framed-tet related question. I was
also a bit disappointed last time when I figured out that framedtext
doesn't support breaking along pages. But then I discovered an
alternative:
\setupbackground[frame=on,rulethickness=0.7pt,corner=round,bodyfont=11pt,width=\textwidth]
\startbackground
...
\stopbackground
The only little problem is that background doesn't support
\definebackground yet, so you should either help yourself with
something similar to what I did:
\def\starthomework{\dosingleempty\dostarthomework}
\long\def\dostarthomework[#1]#2\stophomework
{\bgroup
\setupbackground[frame=on,rulethickness=0.7pt,
corner=round,width=\textwidth]
\startbackground
{\bf Homework\doifsomething{#1}{: #1}}\switchtobodyfont[10pt]\crlf
#2
\stopbackground
\egroup}
or ask someone here to extend the functionality (if you need that).
(I experinced some problems: a bit weird spacing around backgrounds
and buggy end of pages - but I didn't yet manage to post a bug
report.)
It would be nice if backgrounds would gain some functionality and if
they would be more consistent with framedtexts, but I didn't yet take
time to create a more extensive comparison (long
bug-report/feature-request list for Hans, or even Aditya, who likes
such challenges as well).

Why not simply \dorecurse{10}{\par\thinrule}?
