This I don't get right about whitespace between paragraphs made with \defineparagraphs.

\starttext

\setupwhitespace[none]
a\par b\par c\par
% the above close spaced thus behaving as expected

% these do not obey setupwhitespace[none]:
\defineparagraphs[param][n=2,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}]
\setupparagraphs[param][1][width=2cm]
\startparam first \param {\sl contents} \stopparam
\startparam second \param {\sl contents} \stopparam

% I tried other things, remembering a recent question about a similar problem with framed texts.
% Neither of the following made a difference:

\defineparagraphs[param][n=2,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}]
\setupparagraphs[param][1][width=2cm,before={\setupwhitespace[none]}]
\setupparagraphs[param][2][before={\setupwhitespace[none]}]
% height=... seems not to influence the distance between the paragraphs

\stoptext

How can one for these paragraphs the wanted distance apart?
