next solution, framed:
\startsetups[pagehead]
\setupframed[strut=no,offset=.5em,height=1cm]
\dontleavehmode
\framed[align={right,lohi},width=\dimexpr(\textwidth/7)*2+\linewidth
\relax]{left} \hskip-\linewidth
\framed[align={middle,lohi},width=\dimexpr(\textwidth/7)*3\relax]
{middle} \hskip-\linewidth
\framed[align={left,lohi},width=\dimexpr(\textwidth/7)*2+\linewidth
\relax]{right} \stopsetups

This is the wishlist from us users since a few years.
