1. Your changes don't work anymore because LMTX handles optional
arguments in a different way than MkIV. As a result of this change a few
commands have disappeared.
2. There are no changes to adjust the vertical before and after a
combination environment. Local patches can also be tricky because
ConTeXt tries to freeze the definitions of many user level commands
which means they can't be redefined when you use a strict overload mode
(look at the lowlevel security manual for this feature).
The most reliable way to center you combination blocks is to put them
either in a float or put a framedtext environment around it.
