And a ConTeXt tag must already exist on Stack Overflow, which I didn't 
find. So it seems we can wait a while before there would be examples in 
ConTeXt.

I find stackoverflow too elitist, once I was reading a question and I 
wanted to help with an answer but it wasn't possible to do because it 
was the first time I wanted to contribute in stackoverflow and of course 
I was lacking the needed reputation. I am interested to help when I see 
an occasion to and when I am in the mood for that ;-). So I found that 
frustrating and it didn't make me interested to contribute there.

On the other hand, I understand their will to have good quality 
questions and answer and I appreciate that. I am just feeling it must be 
a better way to do that.
