Re: indenting list items.

First: I agree that when you begin using Context, the documentation 
isn't as helpful as one could hope (John, of course, is not a 
beginner). But seeing that Hans is so busy developing Context, it's 
easy to see why there isn't more time to write documentation about it. 
And I think Patrick's wiki is making great progress and beginning to be 
filled with lots of interesting things.

In this case, however, I find the handbook quite clear. \setupitemize 
takes three brackets, the first one is defined as "number each." This 
defines the level of the itemization you want to set up, 1 being the 
outer or topmost level etc. Every \startitemize is located at a precise 
level (i.e. nested within other itemizations or not), so there's no use 
for this first pair of brackets.
