perhaps I anticipated that the problem would give me a headache.


Your wish is beyond my ConTeXt knowlege. Ask me again in a year :)

One problem is that with \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] the chapter can
start on an even page. On that page the setup from
\definetext[chapter]... is taken. Then, with my previously suggested
hack, ConTeXt goes to the next page. There you have to setup your
header/footer manually, but reset it again on next page.

With [page=right] ConTeXt has no way(?) of knowing that it should leave
the even page blank.

I suggest that "we" add a new keyword to setuphead (no idea what to name
it, perhaps skippages=blank) and Hans does some miracle-coding in
\dohandelpaginaafB (or wherever). 

And/or:  we could use a keyword in setupheader,setupfooter,...:
state=once. This way we could setup a headertext and don't have to
worry about it on next page.

But there is probably a) a switch already in ConTeXt, that I haven't
seen or b) Hans has just needed such code, so it is already in the
pre-beta ...
