This is a valid hack but not a perfect solution, a parameter called "inbetween"
for \setupnote would be the perfect option to control this.

You can change the space before the footnotes with
\setupnote[footnote][before=...]
or its short form \setupfootnotes[before=...]. A empty value for
before removes all
whitespace between the text and the footnote but a small space between both
lcks a little bit better to me.

The answer to this question was "look into the source", core-not.tex
is your friend.
