I clearly wrote that I find the new structure code to be a bit
confusing, and invited "experts" to answer your specific questions
(also commented in my framework "example"):

It should be simple, but I have not taken the time/not had the need
to look into this. Perhaps someone can easily fill this in
(that is if not put-off by the agressivity of the posting).

Look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page
the paragraph on Documentation, and,
in particular, the revision of the user manual.
I, too, feel the great need for the updated
manual. For this reason, I am trying to join
the effort to bring forward its revision
(to be done in my "spare time").
Writing good, complete documentation is hard!
