By being a "proper" package under LaTeX, do you mean that the package conforms to all norms for LaTeX package programming? Or do you mean that the interface is "proper"? I don't know that that can really be judged. But since TIPA has become the de-facto standard, most linguists who use TeX have learned its interface. So I would aim to recreate that in ConTeXt, modulo the usual changes (\startIPA, etc.) Or did I miss the point? Steve
