IIRC, Hans explained some time ago that they are 'semi-automatic': the actual TWS files are automatically generated from the 'normal' context files that are used for the various documentation manuals (the input files that create the syntax description blocks). It is very unlikely that there will be downward-incompatible changes to the TWS files, I think. However, there has been some talk about extending the \startsetup with explanatory comments, so it is likely that there will be an backward-compatible extension to the tws format somewhere in the future. -- groeten, Taco
