You can use MetaPost to draw the rules but it’s awkward because you can make a setup like this

  \setuxptable[column][1][background=…]

which is only supported by natural tables. It would be simpler when stables had a counter like \currentxtablecolumn
which could be accessed to make a test like “if \currentxtablecolumn = 1 then … fi” but this isn’t the case.

It inserts a space between each row, the amount of space is the same as \blank[…] would insert.

\starttext

\startxtable[spaceinbetween=line]
  \startxrow
    \startxcell A \stopxcell
    \startxcell B \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
  \startxrow
    \startxcell C \stopxcell
    \startxcell D \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
  \startxrow
    \startxcell E \stopxcell
    \startxcell F \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext
