Of course there is a static  idea of "line" that depends on the current font
and a dynamic idea of row that depends on the current document: here
is an exaggerated example

\setuplayout[lines=20]
\newdimen\T \T=1.5mm
\starttext
\dorecurse{40}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel}\par}
\dorecurse{100}{\ruledvbox{Line \recurselevel\vrule width1pt height
\recurselevel\T depth \recurselevel\T}\par}
\stoptext
