OK. Do you plan to release this on contextgarden? This will simplify the 
title page setup of the simple-slides module. I think that others might 
find it useful as well. If you don't want to go through the hassle, I can
maintain it.

Sorry, I should have explained in more detail. Suppose I want to indicate 
that there are two authors, "first author" and "second author". First 
author is at "institute 1" and second author is at institute 2. I want 
authors and institutes to be set in different styles. There are a couple 
of ways of setting this up:

\setuptitle
    [
 	authors={ {name={First author}, institute={insitute 1}},
 	          {name={Second author}, institute={insitute 2}} },
     ...
    ]

or

\setuptitle
   [author1]
   [name={First author},
    insititute={institute 1}]

\setuptitle
   [author2]
   [name={Second author},
    institute={institute 2}]

\setuptitle
   [authors={author1, author2}]


or

\setuptitle
   [authors={First author, second author},
    institutes={institute 1, institute 2}]


To me, none of these look satisfatory, so I am wondering if there is a better
solution.

Thanks,
Aditya
