Dear Hans,
I am also intersted in this issue.
In the last years I am dealing with a multi-language technical lexicon.
Hence, different languages refer to different columns, and if the languages are three or four, then it is better to go with two pages side-by-side.
Nevertheless this seems a problem also in LaTeX redelpar (multiple columns are not supported).
I tried to manage it with \linetable but without success (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/380923/synchronise-data-spanning-over-two-side-by-side-pages-in-context)
I think this feature could be really interesting because, according to my knowledge, ConTeXt is at present the best way to manage the publishing of XML data.
Hence, this could be a useful tool to publish large sets of data.
Thank you in advance

> 2) Second situation : you want to print a translation on the same page (say the even page) as the original Greek text, with the commentary (or whatever) on the odd page. I fear there is no way to do this at the time (that was impossible with CTX early in 2016). I didn't retry these former weeks...

  Actually, there has been, for quite a long time, a mechanism called
streams in ConTeXt that aimed at doing exactly that.  It’s incomplete
and there are no real-life examples of documents that use it, but I know
that Hans is ready to look into it again provided someone comes up with
a sensible use case, and some details of what should be achieved.

	Best,

		Arthur
