Good to know that I'm not the only one going down the "simple"
path. My plans are indeed along the lines you indicate. I have the
utmost admiration and respect for the work that has gone into ConTeXt, a
great piece of work. For now, I just need to get back to the "very
basics" and a minimal installation of LuaTeX with plain seems to do that
nicely, for now.

Sadly, I do not read German, a real pity as there are some interesting
bits of code on there. Google Translate, here I come.... :-)
Warm regards and thanks again for your time to reply.
Cheers!
