I can, but it requires looking up everywhere in the ConTeXt core
to see where showdnnummer is used and patch. Hm, looks like it's
only used in core-des.tex. Ok, I can do that.

I'm going to define:

\def\preparednnummer#1%
  {\preparethenumber{\??dd#1}\voorafgaandenummer\preparednumber}

(or would this cause too much of a slowdown?)

And there is going to be one extra macro parameter in
dodoornummeren ... which causes even more slowdowns. Ok.

Do you want the patches sent privately or publicly?

Yes, the problem was in being able to use it ;-)
