In plain tex I modified the final output routine in the TeXBook page 257 to use unequal width columns (one of which is really the sidebar.) In Context, can I ask for double columns on a page, one wider than the other? How? Are there more elegant solutions to the sidebar problem?

It *is* working (I use it successful on Linux and Windows), even if a bit "verbose". If you get used to it, it's nice and flexible. You should really avoid plain tex tinkering!
