There seems to be no further information on it, at least not be searching the wiki with "context arguments". I have the two questions: (1) how is the list given? context arguments=key1=value1,key2=value2 or context arguments="key1=value1,key2=value2" or otherwise (2) how are these values picked up inside the TeX-run for use in typesetting?
