Some APA- and language related bibliography problems

Hi list,

I have some problems with a bibliography.  Please consider the following 
example

   \mainlanguage[de]
   \setupbibtex[database={mysample}]
   \setuppublications[alternative=apa]

   \starttext
   Ein Zitat \cite[HagenHoekwater2011].
   Noch ein Zitat \cite[SchrammKopiez2009].
   \placepublications[criterium=text]
   \stoptext

which results in

"Ein Zitat (Hagen and Hoekwater, 2011). Noch ein Zitat (Schramm and 
Kopiez, 2009).
Hagen, H. and Hoekwater, T. (2011). Fonts in ConTEXt. Boekplan, NL.
Schramm, H. and Kopiez, R. (2009). Die alltägliche nutzung von musik. In 
Bruhn, H., Kopiez, R. and Lehmann, A. C., editors, Musikpsychologie. Das 
neue Handbuch, pages 253-265. Reinbek bei Hamburg: Rowohlt Taschenbuch 
Verlag."

There are some language specific issues here.

(1) There is written "and" in the two references between the author's 
and between the editor's names, despite the fact that I changed the 
mainlanguage to German.  I learned that I can change this to e.g. "und" with

   \setuppublicationlist[lastnamesep={\ und \ }, firstnamesep={\ und \ }]

but is the current mechanism for translation able to automate the 
translation here too?  Please note that I'm fine with the above 
solution, I'm just curious.  [Similar issue with "andtext" in \setupcite]

(2) Similar to the above: How can I change the other inserted 
words/text, the APA manual [a] requires something different here:
   "(Eds.)" or "(Hrsg.)" (without the comma, latter German) instead of 
", editors"
   "pp." or "S." (German) instead of "pages"
Do I have to modify ConTeXt bib style files here?  I would very much 
refrain from that...  Those inserted words/texts are in general not used 
in German.  IIRC these were hardcoded in English inside the style files, 
is this still the case?

(3) There was already a thread about this [b]. The current mechanism 
messes with the capitalization of the titles "Die alltägliche Nutzung 
von Musik".  In English, this is mostly an aesthetic concern, in German 
and other languages this is definitely a bug and makes the reference 
list unusable.
Maybe I missed something here: Is it possible to change this without 
modifying the ConTeXt core files?  If not I request that the function 
Thomas pointed out in [b] is removed.  If I want uncapitalized titles I 
can just use them uncapitalized in th bib or bbl file.
IIRC putting the complete title in extra {}'s in the bib would solve 
this but is considered very very bad.

(4) In the APA-style, the entries in the reference list are supposed to 
be double-spaced [c].  How can I achieve this?  The command 
\setupinterlinespace[big] inside \start...\stoptext does the job for the 
normal text, but not for the referencelist.

[a] APA Publication manual, 6th edition, 2010. Page 202, section 7.02 
"Books, Reference Books, and Book Chapters".
[b] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/059359.html
[c] APA Publication manual, 6th edition, 2010. Page 37, section 2.11 
"References".

I strongly hope that I can get answers to all of my points above, and 
any hints and suggestions are appreciated.

Unfortunately I'm very unfamiliar with ConTeXt's mechanisms concerning 
the reference list and I don't know where and how to fix these issues, 
otherwise I would try to post patches instead...

Kind regards,
Stefan Müller.
