I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 - has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements?

If I remove a few sensitive items I can generate a sample PDF. Is this what you mean, Wolfgang? I've never seen attachments in mailing list - is that allowed? I could also include a link to it hosted somewhere else. That's probably the better solution but it will take a bit of time.
The LaTeX itself is a series of templates with mixed Ruby code, and so it doesn't seem practical to post the LaTeX code itself.
