Yes. We proposed to to our adobe EU contacts back in 96 but nobody seems
to see the benefit in this. I even have something running that works
reasonable well on ps printers, but I never saw a real reason for
including it in the public releases of context. We nearly always
generate two versions of a document, one for screen and one for A4
paper. Makes more sense. 

There are, btw some complications in this, for instance when relative
positioning is used, where you cannot simple omit things.
