Newspaper in ConTeXt?

Newspaper in ConTeXt?

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

I seem to recall from various discussions that ConTeXt has some
features that would come useful to typeset newspaper and similar
stuff (columnsets being one of them, IIRC). Are there example of
their usage, and possibly some kind of manual?

I'm currently in the process of reimplementing the styles of the dutch math 
society journal; which has lots of graphics, 2/3 column layouts, works on 
spreads, has spread spanning stuff, two typeface collections, some 15 
different categrories/styles, etc; this is also my test suite for the 
column set mechanism, and when i finished those styles (one to be done) 
i'll start documenting column sets ...
