Hans, et alia,

Thanks for mentioning typo-mar.mkiv. Once I found it, and figured out
what to do with it (put it in my texmf-local directory), it appears
to, as you say, "offer more control over margindata". My (rather
belated) thanks for offering this extended functionality, though my
grasp of context is still too fragile to really understand how to use
it.

typo-mar.mkiv appears to introduce a bug in my Arabic typesetting. In
my bilingual text, my margin data (pg/lb numbers) are placed correctly
in the margin of the English text, but the margins of the Arabic text
appear to be miscalculated and the margindata overwrites the
beginnings of the lines (or disappears beyond the edge if I set margin
'left'). My tyronic fooling around may certainly be at fault, but if
you could offer any observations on the following, I'd be grateful.

My environment file is included below, stripped down as far as I could
to its essentials. I've attached the ara-style.tex file setting up
ScheherazadeRegOT; a stripped down example of my tei/xml source; and
the pdf output I'm getting. I hope I violate no convention of the list
in attaching these files, but in my naivete I'm not sure how much
information is too much.
