I think that ConTeXt should be feature compatible with amstex; not necessarily syntax compatible. Although syntax compatibility eases the translation of old amstex documents to ConTeXt, it is not a good long term solution. So, the question remains, is this feature (changing the meaning of \dotsb etc) by authors? If so, we can add an option to \setupmathematics or a dedicated \setupdots (or something similar) command.
