It says this on the page: "It should come as no surprise that
*mode=node*generates different effects, but even with a traditional
font setup there
are incompatibilies unless you use tfm-only fonts."

Could you explain what mode=node does? I've seen it mentioned many times but
I still don't know what its purpose is. I searched the ConTeXt site (using
the search box), and didn't find any other useful information on it except
that it affects kerning, but how? What are the advantages and disadvantages
of using it? When should you use it?
