Why does the

\blank

command reset indenting for the next paragraph? Ok, I know that the
indentation is supposed to show the beginning of new paragraphs, and thus is
not necessary in certain cases (like: after chapter titles, and after
blanks), but it surely looks odd on paper, such non-indented paragraph (to
me, at least); and moreover, if the blanks happens at a page break, how can
somebody tell a new paragraph is starting, when reading from the top of the
next page?

To disable the indentation reset, I set

\setupindenting[first]

and it looks like it "fixed" the problem; I feared that it might break the
non-indentation of the first paragraphs after chapter titles etc, but those
paragraphs are still (correctly) non-indented. Why? I thought that the
"first" setting would have forced indentation also in those paragraphs.
