Thanks a lot for the pointer. But the following example fails:

\setuppagenumbering
	[location=]
\setupsubpagenumber
	[state=start]
\setupfootertexts
	[page \subpageno{} of \nofsubpages]

\starttext
	abc
\stoptext

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                   {
<argument> page \subpageno {
                            } of \nofsubpages {}{}{}
\firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1

\doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4
                                                  }\dostopattributes
\dosingletexts ...atetexts {#1#2#5}{#6{}{}{}}}}}}}
                                                  \egroup
<argument> ...tk \v!footer \v!text \c!middletext }
                                                  \hss }\hskip -\makeupwidth...
...
l.11 \stoptext

Plus, I don't know how to instruct "way=by..." to reset the counter at
the boundary of frontmatter/bodymatter

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca
