Hi Hans...
\unknown
is cryptic; why not just...
\ellipsis? That's what it is after all, and it's immediately obvious,
easier to remember, etc....-)
(at least as an official synonym...)
Note that you could also have \setupellipsis: '...' is the most prevalent
but not the only form it can take. '***' and \emdash are apparent
alternatives...
Bringhurst's discussion on ellipsis rules might help with creating
typographical options... French and English have different rules, for
example...
...Best
...Idris
