There are more possibilities aligning three objects. For example:
A[[B][C]]
Standard \framed is not capable to align these three nested boxes to
baseline. Since it is very frequent task of form typesetting, I did some
very dirt hacks into \framed definition. But just for myself. (If Hans
see the code all the rest of his hair falls down. I do not want that.)

This one should have worked:
A bit of \framed[width=5cm,
align=justified,
location=depth] {\input tufte \par} glamour
and the centered one can be approximated thus:
A bit of $\vcenter{\framed[width=5cm,
align=justified] {\input tufte \par}}$ glamour
But the 'centered' and the 'hanging' one would be nice to
have as a 'location' option as well, at least in my opinion.

one way is to put things in a box and do some measuring and such; however, then
you need to know a bit about the position of the baseline (measurethe middle
box, and use a dummy framed around A and B with that height set etc)
the other way is to use the following extensions (i made the dislocator
installable so that you can hook in your own code if needed)

Everything works perfectly until the depth is greater then strut depth
(still no real depth measurements):
\starttext
