I don't know why I thought they were.

What is the correct way to place a collector mid aligend underneath another? I
manage to place them underneath left aligned using

	location={right, bottom}, corner=bottom

and mid aligned as in the example below. However, I prefer not to adjust
the distance manually.

	\setupbodyfont [12pt]

	\definecollector
		[mycollector]

	\setcollector
		[mycollector]
		{\framed[align=normal]{\input khatt-en\par}}

	%% this is the desired output, but without the manual adjustment
	\setcollector
		[mycollector]
		[location=bottom,
		 corner=middle,
		 %% voffset=.5\layerheight,  %% no effect
		 voffset=.8cm]
		{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}

	\flushcollector [mycollector]

	\starttext\null\stoptext

Intuitively I would expect the following to work, but I guess the `middle`
syntax is not supported or I am using it in the wrong way.

	\setcollector
		[mycollector]
		[corner={middle, bottom},
		 location={middle, bottom}]
		{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}
