I considered adding a generator \defineRSTcontainer with the
usual interface (e.g. [command=\framed,frame=on]). This won’t
work because the output is supposed to be a self-contained
document. The goal is for the output to consist of ordinary
Context macros only so it can be imported without loading further
code. (I’m undecided regarding the requirement of the “\RST...”
prefix, though.)

They are defined as HTML div’s.

Honestly, I have no idea. Depending on the style sheet a div can
be a float or aligned or have a shaded background. The current
approach leaves the implementation to the user.
