it's pretty safe to ignore keys like 'profile' (if you grep the 
documentation tree .... it's just an example of a potential optimization 
of the rendering which in practice no one will use because in the end it 
makes no sense .... more fun feature i guess)

Anybody who would be interested in sorting out the workings of ConTeXt and writing a manual (no, I am not making any promises yet :-) ) could then trace how one command leads to another, another, another… and how the entire system is built up.
the order is in context.mkiv ... and is determined by functionaility 
building on top of other although there are some circular dependencies
