Ok, needed a break from work, so for fun and for learning something new:
==============
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2]
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]
\starttext
\showframe
\startoutputstream[one]
\setupalign[flushleft]
\framedtext[width=17.4em,align=verytolerant,stretch,frame=on,offset=overlay]
{\input lorem }
\hfill
\par
\stopoutputstream
\startoutputstream[two]
\setupalign[flushright]
\hfill
\framedtext[width=17.4em,align=verytolerant,stretch,frame=on,offset=overlay]
{\input davis }
\par
\stopoutputstream
\synchronizestreams[one,two]
\startoverlay
{\raise2\strutdp\outputstreambox[one]}
{\raise0\strutdp\outputstreambox[two]}
\stopoverlay
\startTwoLang
\input lorem
\nextTwoLang
\input davis
\stopTwoLang
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC\input lorem
\NC\input davis
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes]
\bTR
\bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD
\bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\startcolumns[n=2]
\input lorem
\column
\input davis
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
==============
The \raise2\strutdp etc. feels like a hack, Wolfgang knows better why it's
needed, as as how and why the value for one stream affects the other..
