Ok, but here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export it says,

======
Also note that switches like \em don’t translate into output structure,  
you need to \definehighlight[emph][style=italic] and use as  
\emph{emphasized}.
======

Now \em does have structural meaning (emphasis) so either the wiki is  
wrong or we have some inconsistency here -)

Best wishes
