Ahoi!
There's a problem remaining with my address book: The names in my header
doesn't show special chars like umlauts, but entity names instead.
Here's my setup:
----------------------
\def\RegisterPageMark#1#2% #1=Class #2=Text
{\iftrialtypesetting \else
\doglobal\increment\MNamCounter%
\textreference[#1:t:\MNamCounter]{#2}%
\doifreferencefoundelse{#1:t:\MNamCounter}
{\doifundefined{#1:f:\currentrealreference}%
{\setxvalue{#1:f:\currentrealreference}%
{\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}}
\setxvalue{#1:l:\currentrealreference}%
{\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}}%
{}%
\fi}
\def\GetFirstOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:f:\realfolio}} % #1=Class
\def\GetLastOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:l:\realfolio}} % #1=Class
\setupheadertexts [][\limitatetext{\GetFirstOnPage{MNam}}{5mm}{}--%
\limitatetext{\GetLastOnPage{MNam}}{5mm}{}]
\def\Name#1{\bf #1\RegisterPageMark{MNam}{#1}}
-----------------------
Addresses are set as tabulation; every line starts with a \Name{};
but "Grün" becomes "Grudiaeresisn" etc.;
input regime is "windows" (is there a better name for iso 8859-1(5) ?)
Further I'd like to limitate the Names to the first couple of chars; but
\limitatetext uses at least the first word plus comma, not less. Ok, Hans
wrote that "GetThreeTokens" command for me, but I'd prefer a generic
solution.

This is a result of text reference data being 'simplified', a side effect
that goes unnoticed in most cases because the higher level commands handle
this. The following 'adaption' will provide more control:
\setupreferencing
[\c!expansie=\v!nee]
\def\dotextreference[#1]#2%
{\bgroup
\def\asciia{#1}%
\convertexpanded\??rf{#2}\asciib
\@EA\rawtextreference\@EA\s!txt\@EA\asciia\@EA{\asciib}%
\egroup}
\def\dopagereference[#1]%
{\rawpagereference\s!pag{#1}}
\def\doreference[#1]#2%
{\bgroup
\def\asciia{#1}%
\convertexpanded\??rf{#2}\asciib
\@EA\rawreference\@EA\s!ref\@EA\asciia\@EA{\asciib}%
\egroup}
now, you'll get your umlauts. For the moment, put this change in
cont-new.tex since i don't know how it affects other code (well, it demands
a small change to the line numbering code for instance)

\def\FirstNCharacters#1#2% will go into supp-fun.tex
{\bgroup
\scratchcounter\zerocount
\def\docommando##1%
{\ifnum\scratchcounter=#1\else
##1\relax % catches ##1 = \"e and alike
\advance\scratchcounter\plusone
\fi}
\handletokens#2\with\docommando
\egroup}
Rhaban likes \FirstNCharacters{3}{fr{\"o}beln}

My setup:

% \FirstNCharacters{3}{\GetLastOnPage{MNam}}}]
\def\Name#1{\bf #1\RegisterPageMark{MNam}{\FirstNCharacters{3}{#1}}}
I tried to put the command in the headertext definition or in the Name
definition with same result.
First I had your code in my environment, then put it in supp-fun.tex as you
wrote and remade the formats. The same.

well, looks like you put teh patch before \unprotect, i.e. \c ! something
instead of \c!something -)
I'll make a proper new beta later today
