I testes just a few short examples and noticed the following things:


1. XeTeX has two problems with the greep pattern files (lang-agr.pat).

(c:/w32tex/share/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat
! Nonletter.
l.1486 ß╝Ç2╬¢1¤ë╬┤¤àß┐¢

?
! Nonletter.
l.2327 ß╝É3¤â2╬┐¤àß┐¢

?


2. Subpagenumbering did no work with MKIV but you forgot to add
   "\let\immediatesavetwopassdata\savetwopassdata"
   to core-two.mkii


Greetings,

Wolfgang
