Subject: idea: titles in tocs, menues, headers and footers

Hello happy contextuals,
while making a document to an interactive one, I thougt about titles. One
of the main advantages (between many, many others ;-)) of (La/Con)TeX(t) is
the easy way to table of contents, menues and living page titles (1). But
these have different requirements:
1. titles should be verbose and explanatory and so are often long
2. toc lines should be like titles but not too long
3. page titles must fit into one line
4. menu entries have to be short
So the ConTeXt way of discarding some part of the title with \nomarking is
in my eyes not suited for page titles and menu entries.
What about different (configurable) levels of title names? Maybe with a
fixed structure like:
\title[short="Menues",middle="Menues explained"]{How to make interactive
menues"}
or with configurable levels
\newtitlelevel{veryshort,long}
And then when you place your toc (or lof, lot) you can give the level that
should be used for it.
What do you think about this feature? Or is there an easy way to achieve
this with the present commands?
Uwe
(1) What is the english word for "Kolumnen-" oder "Rubriktitel"? Does
anybody know an online dictionary for typography?)
