I'm now using
ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.30 fmt: 2004.7.27 int: english mes: english
and your example
\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
$a, b, \dots, n$
\[
a=b, \dots c=d \dots
\]
\stoptext
uses, in order, \ldots, \ldots, \cdots which sounds like the
correct behaviour to me. The engine is
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc4-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.4)

Also, I'm not sure that will work with text inside math. Can
you design a small test case that uses \over (directly or
indirectly) in normal text and in some \text inside a math
environment so that I can see what solution works fine?
In the meantime, I'm thinking along the lines of something like
\def\over{%
\ifmmode\n@err{Disabled command \string\over }
{No more a valid command. Replace {A \over B} with \frac A B.}%
\let\next\relax
\else\let\next\o@over\fi\next}
\def\atop{%
\ifmmode\n@err{Disabled command \string\atop }
{No more a valid command. Use array instead.}%
\let\next\relax
\else\let\next\o@atop\fi\next}
\def\choose{%
\ifmmode\n@err{Disabled command \string\choose }
{No more a valid command. Replace {A \choose B} with \binom A B.}%
\lext\next\relax
\else\let\next\o@choose\fi\next}
which should be robust enough. Can you try it in the context
where my previous solution busted?
