Thanks very much. Playing with your code I discovered that if I use:
------------------------------------------------------------
 \defineconversionset[frontpart:pagenumber][][romannumerals]
-------------------------------------------------------------
in your example then the following statement is not needed
---------------------------------------------------------
\setuppagenumbering[numberconversion=romannumerals]
----------------------------------------------------

but not vice versa. So the last statement quoted is defective in some
way or so it seems to me. In any case I now have code that works. Is
the command \defineconversionset documented anywhere or do I have to dig
into the macro code?
