backward compatibility

backward compatibility

[Peter Münster]

Dear ConTeXt developers,

With the new generation of ConTeXt, MKIV, would it be possible to drop
backward compatibility at some places, where it was the only reason to keep
some undesired behaviour?
Examples: align=left|right or insertion of \dontleavehmode before
\externalfigure and \framed

Greetings, Peter

align ... just use flushleft and flushright instead ... has been there 
for a while now

dontleavehmode ... that's hard to do automaticaly, too much changes for 
interferences ... however, i will reimplemenent some code in mkiv and 
using different tricks
