Hello,

this is somewhat a feature request.

Watermarks are "light" images printed on the background of pages.
Their use can be assimilated to headers and footers, and they should
not be too hard to implement with the new positional figure placement.

What about it?

this can already be done with any background, say a background to a page. 

\defineoverlay[watermark][{\externalfigure[yourmark.pdf][width=\overlaywidth
,height=\overlayheight]}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=watermark]

What about odd-even watermarks (just like headers/footers)?

(Or maybe I should just study the backgrounds chapter in the manual
...)
