Imposition features/limitations.

Imposition features/limitations.

[John Culleton]

On pages 39 ff and section 3.6 of _The Context Manual_ there are examples 
of different page imposition methods. I wonder if this has been extended 
to the level of true prepress software, with compensation for paper 
thickness and/or skew when folded and cut? Or is it  just a demonstration 
of what could be done?  This came up on another list while discussing 
pamphlet making.
