Subject: French spacing and pdfTeX-1.40

Hello,
(it's a repost, in case my previous email got lost...)
my attempt to get correct French spacing before punctuation does no more
work with the latest ConTeXt-beta.
Is there now a new method with pdfTeX-1.40 to get automatically the good
spacing (as announced some months ago)?
Today I try it like this (without success):
%%% module t-french.tex %%%
\def\activateSomeCharacters{%
\defineactivecharacter « {\leftguillemot\,}% % does not work
\defineactivecharacter » {\,\rightguillemot}% % with utf-encoding
%
% \defineactivecharacter ; {\,\lettersemicolon}% % does not work
%
\defineactivecharacter ? {\,\letterquestionmark}% % does not work with
\defineactivecharacter : {\,\lettercolon}% % project/product
\defineactivecharacter ! {\,\letterexclamationmark}}% structure
\startlanguagespecifics[fr]
\activateSomeCharacters
\setupitemize[symbol=2]
\lccode`\'=`\'
\stoplanguagespecifics
\mainlanguage[fr]
\appendtoks\activateSomeCharacters\to\everystarttext
Greetings, Peter
