Come on, we're only talking about some styles. Most is already there, so

In context there is: \usemodule. 

There are m- modules that contain things that do not belong to the core
of context, currently the chemics module, soon the math module, there is
a units module (10 \square \milli \meter \per \second), a flow chart
module, etc. The s- modules are styles, currently there are 6
presentation ones (14 on my machine), one for the maps, one for tugboat,
etc  Last there are p- modules, some internal pragma ones, like the page
selection styles used in the a la carte project.

That's what I mean.

\setupheadertexts [chapter] [section] 

\setupheadertexts [whatever]

or 

\setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[chapter][first]}] [...] 

or 

\setupheadertexts [{\getmarking[subsection][all]}] 

or ...  

1 arg is centered, 2 are left and right (single and double sided
swapped) and 4 args are for different doublesides ones.

Ok. Some latex article and report styles. How important is A4/letter
size?
