Yes, it does, definitely. So it's my (or any other user's)
responsibility that the cells contain only "allowed" stuff.

I still have to see how to deal with large symbols (bigops and
integrals). Maybe with "\blank[medium]" in between (and some "\smash"),
so that every second line will be on the grid again.

When I typeset a similar list previously (for Detailtypografie), I still
did that in LaTeX. That required a lot of trickery and manual
correction, but at least I was able to do it (and yes, it was arranged
on a grid, but LaTeX didn't know that).

That is currently my main conceptual problem with ConTeXt: sometimes
it's too high-level and too clever, and it's hard to figure out how to
do the trickery and the tweaking ...
