No; I thought that was simply for changing the type of footnote, rather 
than their layout.  Are you saying it's not possible to do what I ask 
with the standard \setupfootnotes command?

Also, related to footnotes, are you aware of the following?

Put three footnotes on the same page.  Now, change the paragraph that 
contains the second footnote into a framed text.  The footnote 
numbering within the text reamins the same (the 2 stays in the framed 
text), but now there is no footnote number 2; the footnotes now jump 
from 1 to 3.

did you try \setupfootnotedefinition? this accepts the same key/values as 
any definition macro (which means that you can put the number part 
left/right/serries/inmargin etc

how should \setupfootnotes work?

[Bruce D'Arcus]

I asked this earlier, but didn't get an answer, so will try again.

I want to add a slight indent to my footnote text, and a bit of 
whitespace between each of them.  I tried all sorts of different 
options but none worked.  I assume this is easy, but I'm not getting 
it!  

This is where it would be nice if the documentation actually described 
the different commands and gave a few examples (though I realize that 
could be difficult to do for every command)...
