I experience the following behaviour of framedtext in relation to
inright and inleft.
With \startframedtext[offset=value] the positioning of left and right
margin inserts shifts with the size of 'value'.

The next example shows the shift to the right of L2 and R2 (both mkii
and mkiv). Change the offset to see the margin notes L2/R2 shift.
\starttext
\showframe[text,margin,edge]
ABC
\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R1}}
\inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L1}}
\startframedtext[offset=2cm]
XYZ
\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{R2}}
\inleft{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm]{L2}}
\stopframedtext
\stoptext

Pictured:
...L1.|...................|.R1
......|.L2................|.....R2
......|...................|
......^...................^
^ = frame lines of showpage

I wonder if this is correct behaviour. The margins are imho fixed areas,
defined as the areas on the left/right of the textframe. One would
expect the margin texts put just there, not influenced by something that
happens to be placed in the text.
Or am I amiss?

indeed ... inleft and inright use vadjust and that is somewhat special

i will come up with an alternative in mkiv

maybe \margintitle{...} works ok (delays till a paragraph)
