Yes, I figured that out not too long after I posted my files. Sorry about 
that.

Thanks, I've reused this macro of yours to make it fit my needs better.

With your help I managed to get together something useable. It's not perfect 
yet, but since the text I'm working on now is not that important and the next 
text where I would need a lot of different types of bibliography is still 
more then half a year away — there is no rush. Not that I would be bold 
enough to call this a bug ...it's more of a "feature request" if you will.

During the process of learning how the bib module in ConTeXt works I came to 
these suggestions:
* an autodetection/setting for \cite (e.g. \setupcitelayout) that works like 
\setuppublicationlayout, but outputs to the "cite field"
* an autodetection/setting for \cite (e.g. in \setupcite) that works similar 
then \*author, \*sep, \*etal and \*etallimit in \setuppublicationlist when it 
comes to many authors in the citation field.
* an autodetection/setting for \cite similar to the above with a script that 
would automatically shorten titles to the first X words, if the title 
exceeded Y characters or words; where X and Y could be set up
* this might  be a tough one — (at least in Slovenia's legal circles) legal 
documents get cited for the first time (e.g. with \cite) the same way as in 
the bibliography (full name, abbrev, journal, all changes etc.), but for each 
next time the same legal act gets cited only it's abbrevation should be used.

Also in connection with that — is it possible (already) to utilise \useskip so 
that not only the empty space of the missing field, but also it's separators 
(e.g. \inserteditor{ed: }{, }{}) are being skipped?

Thanks a million!


Cheers,
Matija

p.s. all I have to do now is get some headers etc. ...but I think that should 
be doable even with my limited skills.
p.p.s. I'm attaching the files a) if anyone finds any obvious faults in it and 
b) for anyone who could make use of the pf_ul.tex definitions.
