Hi!

I browsed through it and what I saw looks fascinating.
It's worth a reading, I think. And surely it can be used as a reference 
afterwards.
By the way : I found two typos at page 1.
"METAPOST on the other hand produces POSTSCRIPT code, which means that it 
has some features not present in METAPOST and vise versa."
should be
"METAPOST on the other hand produces POSTSCRIPT code, which means that it 
has some features not present in METAFONT and vice versa."

Just a question: When will the next non-beta release of ConTeXt be released?
What makes the actual beta still a beta? Well, that was more than one 
question. :)
