TABLE splitting on entry spanning multiple rows

TABLE splitting on entry spanning multiple rows

Hello,

I'm using ConTeXt as part of an XML->PDF workflow that is heavy on tables.  The XML table model allows cells to span rows and columns.  While ConTeXt has handled row/column spanning perfectly up to this point, I believe I have found an issue.  When an entry that spans multiple rows is on the split point between pages, you get ragged entries on the page boundaries.  The code below demonstrates this on live.contextgarden.net (PDFTex):

\starttext
\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=red, width=.2\textwidth]
\bTABLE[split=yes]
\dorecurse{31}{\bTR \bTD[nc=4] filler \eTD \eTR}
\bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] 2/3 \eTD \bTD[nr=3] 4 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nc=3] 1/2/3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

Does anyone have any suggestions for visually cleaning this up?

Cheers,
Mike
