Hi Frank.

I think this complaint was one of the first ones I had on the list.
ConTeXt does a great job of gobbling up spaces after the commas
(actually, before keywords) in argument lists, but it doesn't do so well
with other spaces.

Your solution is good. Another would be to have the last line be:
   marking=on]
