In practice only the start key is handled when you pass settings to \start.... (the only reason for  having the second argument is number start/restart etc). If you want different renderings, the best is to define a specific instance of line numbering.

When I rewrote the module to use the filter module, I also rewrote the line numbering mechanism to use ConTeXt's inbuilt line numbering macros, but I cannot get them to work.

I want the user to control the style and color of line numbering, so I define keys numberstyle and numbercolor, which are then passed on to the line numbering macros. The most obvious implementation of this does not work.

You assume \definelinenumbering has a second argument for the settings but this isn’t the case and you need \setuplinenumbering to set them.
