Yes, ok.

Could this be a feature request then? So

\setupnote[whitespace=big,bidi=on]

[Although in the case of bidi I still think that one declaration of  
bidi=global at the beginning of the document should radiate to all other  
elements, except as otherwise configured through their \setup<command>'s  
etc.]

Many thanks for the explanations.
