Of course, it depend of the usage but most french put spaces. I'm use to put them (and nbsp) because of mails, wikis, etc. I know, and it's up to ConTeXt to put the right spaces. But for me it must be able te deal with the fact that french people put spaces in the source. > P.S.: As a French guy, what do you think about t-french.tex? It's great to have it. But for me this question of spaces must be in context and not in an extension : when I say « \mainlanguage [fr] » spaces are supposed to be good — there's no french texte with no space before thoses signs. But I don't know what are the rules for context. If I must use a third package, let's do it !
