Taco,
I hate doing it, but I have to disagree ;-) I was trying to fix this
kerning issue for one of the (commercial) fonts I'm using often. If
ConTeXt doesn't handle this kerning issue right, there is no
incentive to correct the situation because nobody gains anything from
improvements. So my 2 cents: First ConTeXt has to handle kerning in
this situation, then we can go and improve the fonts. And of course
you're right: \quotesinglebase cum suis has to have kerning as well.
Best
Thomas
