1. Is anyone hyphenating URLs by hand? How? Is this ok?
   {\tt http://wiki.contextgarden.net/\crlf{}Article_Abstracts}

   Perhaps someone has done a macro like
   \urlparts{http://}{wiki.}{contextgarden}{.net}{Article_}{Abstract}?

   What about active URLs (\crlf doesn't work in \goto with MkII)?

2. Regarding URL hyphenation, why is an overfull line preferred over a
   slightly underfull one?

  \starttext
  \startframedtext[width=6.3cm]
    \hyphenatedurl{http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Article_Abstracts}
  \stopframedtext
  \stoptext


Some observed MkII and MkIV differences follow (still don't know if anyone
is interested in these...):

3. It seems that one can't redefine \url[] and still use \useURL[][],
   \from[] with MkII (but it works with MkIV).

4. \from[] is not hyphenated with MkII, but is hyphenated with MkIV
   (with \setupinteraction[state=start]).

5. \from[] is typeset in typewriter font with MkII, and in roman with MkIV
   (without \setupinteraction[state=start]).

Example for 4., 5.:

\useURL[x][http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/linux-64/texmf-linux-64/bin/]
\starttext
\from[x]
\stoptext
