Hello Hans,
What is now the right mechanism, to trigger some setting when a specific
language is activated and cancel this same setting, when this language is
deactivated?
Example: when entering French language, I want to execute
"\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]" and when leaving French I want to
execute "\setcharacterspacing[reset]".
(today the file
http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-french/tex/context/third/french/t-french.tex
is broken, because I don't know how to do it right... :(
you can then probably just enable it as i cannot imagine a document
which uses mixed typographical habits that still looks right
anyway, there will be some mechanism but probably more at the level of
the features itself (i.e. as part of setcharacterspacing) as there have
to be ways to turn on/off specific language bound features. The mkii
language specifics were mostly meant for encoding issues and those
trigger points have disappeared as encodings are gone now.
