Since Taco is busy, I'll try to speak for him and hope he doesn't kill 
me!

As I said, I haven't used the module much, because I haven't as yet 
switched to using ConTeXt for academic writing.  If you look through 
the list archive, IIRC, there are a few comments from Taco relating to 
this.

One big reason I guess it's not included yet is that v2 of the module 
will be new and XML based, and apparently more easy to keep in sync 
with ConTeXt as a whole (which I think is difficult now).
