Centering the page

%%% Document %%%

% engine=luatex

\setupwhitespace  [medium]

\starttext
\input knuth

\input zapf

\input tufte
\stoptext


Look at http://filebin.ca/rzjruz/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/rzjruz, 
you'll notice a reasonably sized gap on the right hand side, how do I 
get rid of it?

The work around seems to be

\setuplayout[width=middle]

But this isn't want I want as the width of the text betters slightly 
bigger, see; http://filebin.ca/ttufjc/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/ttufjc .


Thanks

Thanks, but that's not what I had in mind.  Look at the right edge of 
the pdf (http://filebin.ca/rzjruz/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/rzjruz) 
there's a gap - about 1/2 a centimetres - which isn't on the left side. 
  It doesn't look uniform.

The left and right margina re different but they have nothing to do
with the distance of the text block from the left and right margin
of the paper.

\setuplayout
  [width=middle,
   leftmargin=2cm,
   rightmargin=2cm]

\showframe

\starttext
Hello world!
\stoptext
