Actually, I think I know what cormullion is after: this is almost
precisely the layout I used when setting my Masters thesis in Framemaker
(9 years ago, sigh). I remember it fondly because it first got me
interested in structured typesetting...
This is my interpretation. It uses some undocumented stuff, and a lot of
this is new to me:
% First we set up some `virtual' dimensions.
\newdimen\HeadOutdent % distance from Heading to text body
\HeadOutdent=20mm
\newdimen\HeadBackspace % inner margin, including head
\HeadBackspace=35mm
\newdimen\HeadCutspace % outer margin, including head
\HeadCutspace=45mm
\definelayout[fm] [backspace=\dimexpr(\HeadBackspace+\HeadOutdent),
cutspace=\HeadCutspace,
width=middle]
\definelayout[even][backspace=\HeadBackspace,
cutspace=\dimexpr(\HeadCutspace+\HeadOutdent),
width=middle]
% Hans: this was made a bit tougher because horoffset wasn't respected in the
% even layout... why?
\setuplayout[fm]
\setuphead[section] [margin=-\HeadOutdent,
style=\ssc]
%different sections could be outdented differently, etc.
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] % hmmm...
\showframe
\starttext
\section{Hi there}
\subsection{Ho there}
\input knuth \page
\subsection{Hey there}
\subsubsection{Ha there}
\input knuth
\stoptext
>> Chapter X
>> Paragraph
>> Section X
>> Paragraph
>> Subsection y

It's not too tough a transition, so long as you're not afraid of a little
math.
(Welcome to the ConTeXt list... I noticed your posts to the MacTeX list
earlier...)
