I'd just like to chime in that a new bibliography system would be first suggestion for ConTeXt. I've only used BibTeX a few times, and never BibLaTeX (because I'd already switched to ConTeXT), but it's inflexibility makes it unworkable.

Ideally ConTeXt could provide its general sensible-ness (and Lua power) to do for bibliographies what it has already done for TeX. CSL support and something similar to string.format('%s. (%s). %s.', author, year, title) or something just as easy for defining a new output style would be the two features most desired. If MLA were finally implemented (or implementable) for \cite{} in TeX, I would be a very happy masters student indeed ;)

(BibLaTeX's MLA did not work for me in LyX, which is about as far as I'm going to go into LaTeX).

Until then I'll just use the MLA setup environment from the ConTeXt wiki and input my refs by hand.

And why not abstract this further? One could then flexibly
logically place (and connect) containers of any sort.
I use collectors and columnsetspan to put together posters (A0).
This could be made easier.

The flowfram [1] package for LaTeX looks like a good example how this can be done and with the current stream and layer mechanism it should be doable to provide something similar in ConTeXt.
