Of course, it depend of the usage but most french put spaces. I'm use
to put them (and nbsp) because of mails, wikis, etc.
I know, and it's up to ConTeXt to put the right spaces. But for me it
must be able te deal with the fact that french people put spaces in
the source.

It's great to have it. But for me this question of spaces must be in
context and not in an extension : when I say « \mainlanguage [fr] »
spaces are supposed to be good — there's no french texte with no space
before thoses signs.
But I don't know what are the rules for context. If I must use a third
package, let's do it !

Cheers,
Olivier.
