How does this play with
\startdocument
  [title=Document title,
   author=Me]

Here, I learn about metadata:title=
which suggests that I could do without
\setupinteraction
  [state=start,
   title={\getvariable{document}{title}},
   author={\getvariable{document}{author}}]

But, if I want to use the title etc. in the title page, should I do
something like:

\starttitlepagemakeup
  \getvariable{document}{metadata:title}
\stoptitlepagemakeup

Thanks

Alan
