In my opinion, the primary utility of this would be an ability to emulate the large quantity of classes that are based on the default classes, but with the margins and stuff adjusted to fit a given journal style (or such). One hopes that this could be done automatically, too, by feeding the appropriate arbitrary style file into ConTeXt, but that may be a bit much to ask at least at first. - Brooks
