Spacing after \cite

[Aditya Mahajan <adityam@umich.edu>]

Hi Taco,

Normally, while using \cite one does not need to worry about adding an 
explicit space after the command. So, you can write "\cite[something] says 
...." rather than "\cite[something]\ says ...". But something has changed 
in core ConTeXt which has changed this behaviour.

Consider the test file:

\usemodule  [bib]
\setuppublications    [alternative=num]

\starttext
Test~\cite[something] is wrong
\stoptext

I have two versions of ConTeXt. With ConTeXt  2009.01.18 (which has t-bib
version=2008.10.27), I get (notice the space after [] and is)

%-----------
Test [] is wrong
%-------------

With ConTeXt 2009.03.09  (which has t-bib version=2008.12.01) I get 
(notice that there is no space after [] and is)

%-----------
Test []is wrong
%-------------

The behaviour is the same whether I use pdftex or luatex. There is no 
major difference between the two versions of t-bib. The changelog says

%D \item Catalan translation of 'References' (10/11/2008)
%D \item 'chapter' -> 'chapitre' in bibl-apa-fr (27/11/2008)
%D \item Run bibtex via os.execute in  mkiv modee (01/12/2008)

So I am guessing that the difference is because of something else, but I 
cannot see any differences.

Any suggestions?

Aditya
