Great!

So we have two different setups now (well, there are 100s more) :

%      |left  || textarea
%      |margin||                           |     |
%      |      ||                           |     |
%somelonghead*||We thrive in ...           |     |   (#1)
%      |      ||                           |     |
%      |      ||                           |     |
%      |      ||                           |     |
%      |*somehead nextsection              |     |   (#2)
%      |      ||                           |     |
%      |      ||We thrive in ...           |     |


* is the point of alignment.

#1 is covered by \inleftmargin #1 #2 

#2 is covered by MyHead which I've posted earlier.

It would be nice to have some kind of "numberdistance", which goes
between number and head  (1____firstsection).

OK, I have tested *without* text in the section ...

alternative=a,b,c :) 

#1: marginright  (= right aligned in margin) and #2: marginleft
 (since I am a bit confused by the naming of right- and leftalign in
 ConTeXt, this will be the other way round, I guess).

Since I had a quick look in core-sec.tex I could guess how to add the
keywords. The most difficult part would be the translation to dutch
(margelinks?)
