There are some in the big manual. Also of 'logo spaces', 'text spaces',
and some more. Try 

\starttext

\setuplayout[top=1cm,bottom=1cm,width=middle,height=middle]

\setupbackgrounds
  [top,header,text,footer,bottom]
  [text,leftmargin,rightmargin,leftedge,rightedge]
  [frame=on]

\setupbackgrounds
  [header]
  [leftmargin]
  [background=screen]

\stoptext

(will be in demo suite d-en-100)
