3. I'd very much like to second Alan's suggestion to provide containers for
text to flow in and out! Perhaps one could even go further and root ConTeXt
entire page model in such an approach. After all, it's just text flowing in and
out of pages together with fixed containers for headers and footers. This might
also provide a consistent yet flexible foundation for all things columns.
If things where so easy in TeX we won’t have the problems with text in
columns etc. as we currently have. Changing the line distance in the
normal text can influence also header and footer texts and frames are
not so easy too because once a text is typeset by TeX the linebreaks are
fixed and you can't change them.
You're not the only one who wants such a flexible mechanism are you
descibe but let’s see what features LuaTeX provide once the access to
the pagebuilder is available.
