Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your new suggestions.

As a matter of fact, I yesterday found the following suggestion (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers):

\definelayer[AddressBg] [location={right,top},   y=6cm,  x=12cm,  color=red,   style=\ss\tfa].

I used this in the sample suggested by you yesterday. The address actually moves to the desired place!

However, the color and style instructions (\ss\tfa) have no effect. I tried to solve that, as a first step, by putting \ss before the \xmlall instruction:

\startxmlsetups xlm:contact
\setlayer[AddressBg]  {\framed[width=55mm,height=30mm,  align=right,background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray]{\ss\xmlall{#1}{/address}}}
\strut
...
\stopxmlsetups

This works (see pdf), but there are probably other and better ways.
