Hey Hans, Aditya, and Wolfgang,

You gentlemen seem to be very knowledgeable with ConTeXt, so I will run
a question by you that has been plaguing me for months. I am using the
following to typeset a text box containing text.

\definetextbackground[GeneralDocument][
        location=paragraph,
        color=color_text,
        background=color,
        backgroundcolor=colour_page,
        framecolor=colour_text,
        topoffset=1.0cm,
        bottomoffset=1.0cm,
        leftoffset=1.0cm,
        rightoffset=1.0cm,
        before={
            \blank[2*big]
        },
        after={
            \blank[2*big]
        },
        style=small,
        corner=round,
        frame=on]

This works fine, but I still have a problem if the text box spans
multiple pages because bottomoffset / topoffset seem to be ignored at
the points where the page breaks. The text just goes right to the edge
of the page top or bottom without any whitespace. 

Any ideas?
