It is supposed to give us the footnote marker aligned with the text area, then some blank space, then the footnote text:

\setupnotation
  [footnote]
  [  alternative=left,
            hang=1,
   numbercommand={\simplealignedbox{1.5em}{flushleft}},
         stopper={.}]

\starttext \showframe

test \footnote{\input ward }

\stoptext

WIth \setupnote you can control the layout of the note block, e.g. to use columns or to change the rule.

With \setupnotation you can control the layout of the footnote entry, it uses the same code as enumerations/descriptions and provides the same keys.

\setupfootnotes == \setupnote[footnote]
