comment How to draw a closed smooth curve from a list of nodes?
@Jake: Yes, after all, metapost follows the syntax of metafont, a language designed by Knuth: succinct, precise, and weird (in the same way as TeX is weird).

comment The ConTeXt standalone problem
I don't use Windows so it is hard for me to suggest what could be happening. If you don't get any answer here, post of the context mailing list. Hans Hagen, the main developer of ConTeXt, uses Windows + Scite, so you are sure to get an answer there.

comment When should I upload my new style?
OT @mbork, but what is wrong with bitbucket's TOS? This is the first time I am hearing this. Some of the popular packages like Beamer are maintained on BB.

comment Which TeX should one start out with?
+1 for "have a look at both LaTeX and ConTeXt and you will see which one works better for you". This is really a subjective choice, as feature-wise there is very little difference between the two formats.

comment Which TeX should one start out with?
You don't need to use XSLT to transform XML to HTML. Most modern browsers are perfectly happy to display XML+CSS. Other options are to write in Markdown and convert to LaTeX/ConTeXt/HTML using pandoc; or write in semantic HTML5 and process it directly using ConTeXt.

You can use table.concat function to concat the table to a string.
