I agree with that. It will be really nice to have a module that does a few 
"simple" titles (alternate=(a|b|c), etc.) For one of my personal modules, 
I was following something along the lines of the maps module. But I find 
Wolfgang's solution on the wiki to be more ConTeXtish than what all other 
modules use.
