that's not comfortable for spanish users, so ... let's hook it into 
specifics:

\starttext

\startlanguagespecifics[fr]
    \definetextmodediscretionary : 
{\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\empty{:}:}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ; 
{\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\empty{;};}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ? 
{\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\empty{?}?}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ! 
{\removeunwantedspaces\prewordbreak\kern\hspaceamount\empty{!}!}
\stoplanguagespecifics

% goes to enco-ffr

\startlanguagespecifics[es]
    \definetextmodediscretionary ? {\prewordbreak\questiondown}
    \definetextmodediscretionary ! {\prewordbreak\exclamdown}
\stoplanguagespecifics
