Hi,

1- I put here a far too long example to show difficulties that I have
with formulas in conjunction with framed:
I haven't find a way to insert a formula (displaystyle, vertical
mode), at the beginning of a \framed.

Here is a small example:

\nopdfcompression

\startTEXpage[offset=3cm]
    \hbox{$ x+y $}
\stopTEXpage

If you look in the pdf file you will see the following:

/FontBBox    [-1042 -3060 4082 3560]
/Ascent      3560
/CapHeight   683
/Descent     -3060
/ItalicAngle 0
/StemV       93
/XHeight     431

The less clever viewer can use that information for the selection dimensions. Acrobat instead uses the glyph properties.

If you run instead

\starttext
    \hbox{$$ x+y $$}
\stoptext

you will not get math at all because the $$ == an empty inline math so there a text font is used:

/FontBBox    [-422 -280 1394 1127]
/Ascent      1127
/CapHeight   683
/Descent     -280
/ItalicAngle 0
/StemV       91
/XHeight     431

In context,

    \hbox{\startformula x+y \stopformula}

boils down to

  \hbox{\par $$ x+y $$ \par}

plus some more so i decided to turn this into

\hbox{\par \Ustartdisplaymath x+y \Ustopdisplaymath \par}

Now, believe it it not, when I tested that one luatex crashed as we never thought about the fact that $$ is catched in the main loop and \Ustartdisplaymath falls through and creates havoc. So, after some debugging Luigi and I figured out that this was too messy to catch. Math magician Taco will fix it in luatex's parser part. So, be warned, don't this this trickery now.

In the meantime, i fixed context to deal with such matters. Of course that bug doesn't relate to your observations.
