Hi David,

Amstex is actually a complete package in itself, so I suppose you refer
to the math part (not the general structuring and layout part).
Currently Taco (who is using context at kluwer to process math oriented
smgl) is collecting al kind of math things as they appear in their
periodicals. So, apart from amstex functionality, more specialized
fetaures are needed.
When this inventory is made, as well as additional funcionality is
specified, it will be turned into a math module. (Just like there is a
chemical module, there will be a math one, and some day one for the
languages). The aim is to have a consistent set of macros fitting into
the context syntax.
So, to answer your question, yes, some amstex functionality is
definitely worth using, and will be available as well.
Hans
