Well, ... if I actually use the "setup" assignment in the list tag rather
than an item tag it works for me as well ... ;0)

Thanks so mutch for this! Do you see any way of generalizing the
"XMLifequalelse{list}{setup}{n}" part? Could I just have the argument of
"<list setup="whatever">" handed thtough to ConTeXt rather than writing
if-loops for n,a,A,KA,r,R,KR,m,g,G,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8?

Thanks for your help!
