I experimented a little with this:

----------------------------------------
\starttexdefinition BIS #1 #2
[#1 \ldots\ #2]
\stoptexdefinition

\starttext
\BIS1 23

\BIS{10}{20}30

\BIS {10}{20}30

\BIS{10} {20}30

\BIS{10}{20} 30

\BIS {10} {20}30

\BIS{10} {20} 30

\BIS {10} {20} 30
\stoptext
----------------------------------------

and get this:

----------------------------------------
[1 ... 2]3
[102030 ...
][102030 ...
][10 ...  20]30
[1020 ... 3]0
[10 ... 20]30
[10 ... 20] 30
[10 ... 20] 30
----------------------------------------

So it seems, that the first blank between command and #1 is optional. 
But the second between #1 and #2 is NEEDED. A last blank after #2 is 
not needed and not eaten.

Wolfgang
