I've tried to patch pack-mrl.mkiv and I still get the error of spacing before the second \textrule.

My version of context is

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: /Users/ptitvert/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv

But 

\starttext

blah blah blah

\starttextrule[top]{Testing head}
blah blah blah
\stoptextrule

blah blah blah

\stoptext

doesn't, and this possibility is explain in the doc, but apparently it doesn't work.
So either the doc is wrong, the command is wrong or I'm doing something wrong :-D

Sincerely yours,
Alessandro
