Dear list,

In a number of notes (recent and in the list archive) I have seen 
\resetsetups, used (always) as in a block of code like this from Gerben 
Wierde:

    \startsetups chapter:before
       \page[left]
       \noheaderandfooterlines
       \startalignment[left,nothyphenated]
    	\startnarrower[4*left]
    	    \em \getbuffer[chapter:quote]
    	\stopnarrower
       \stopalignment
       \resetsetups[quote:text]
       \page[right]
       \noheaderandfooterlines
       \blank[force,2*big]
    \stopsetups


What is the purpose of \resetsetups in this code? I see no different 
result without it, and all I can determine from list and document 
searches is that this is a vestigal command from x-fo processing.
