I agree with Hans that the starred forms are weird and ugly, and 
appending eg. an x sounds fine to me. It is even possible
to create something similar to \startitemize (with [X] options),
but that is a bit overkill IMO.

For the new math, I think this scheme is the most sensible:

  \startmathdisplay[<ref>][<options>]
  ...
  \stopmathdisplay

  \setupmathdisplay[<options>]

or another name, but this sounds reasonable. This is the core
command that does all of the 'real work'.

Then we should also have:

  \definemathdisplay[whatever][<options>]

which creates

  \setupwhatever[<options>]

and

  \startwhatever[<ref>][<overruled options>]
  ...
  \stopwhatever

Agreed? (will think about possible options later)

Besides \formulanumber, we also need \subformulanumber.

And then there is (still) the problem of pronunciations.
