Thanks for the summary, it was very helpful.  I have a few hundred things
on my ToDo list (**argh**), but I am looking forward to giving it a try.

I am not fanatical about AUCTeX, but I have found it useful, even though I
occasionally manage to cause it to glitch.  The last time I submitted a bug
report the person who answered said something to the effect (IIRC) that I
was the first ConTeXt user to put a bug report in, and that none of the
devs are ConTeXt users.  So AUCTeX may not be as polished (for ConTeXt) as
it could be.  Obviously your package is coming from a different direction
and has a more specific focus, so I hope to look at it soon.

Cheers.
