Matrices try very hard to have a compact interline spacing, while in a aligned environment you need the opposite. At some point, I played with some of the internals of core-mat, and had a working definition of aligned. I cannot find it at the moment :( > 3) Aditya, I saw your remark in your 'My Way' concerning the 'multline' > environment. I must admit I would really be glad to see it appear in > ConTeXt!

Would it be difficult > to make it available in ConTeXt? No, multline is probably the simplest of all math environments. I do not really understand what all features it should have. If you can explain everything you want from a multiline environment, I can give a shot at trying to implement that, and Hans and Taco could polish it up.
