Hello,

I just read a post on comp.text.tex asking how to make "This page
intentionally left blank" in LaTeX. There, it's a matter of
redefining the \cleardoublepage comman; I assumed that ConTeXt had
some kind of built-in hook to do that, but I found that it is not
so; the command that ejects a blank page when needed is
\ejectdummypage, but there is no way to configure it to put
something on that page. Could the page ejecting mechanism be
slightly improved, with a \setupdummypage[...] command that
defines what has to be done with the dummy pages?

\page[blank]  : no ornaments
\page[empty]  : empty page, no page break first
\page[makeup] : also empty, forces a page break first

so,

\page[yes,empty]

is first flushing the current page, and then issuing an empty one

so, what you want in addition is something

\startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no]
\labeltext{blankpage}
\stopstandardmakeup

or so, but then accessible by keyword? (\page[makeup,text] or so)

No, I was thinking more of events like

\page[odd]

which flushes the current page if we are on an even page, but
flushes the current page AND addes a blank even page. This blank
even page cannot be "configured" to be nonblank, and that's what I
want.
