Problems with the ConTeXt template in Pandoc 1.15.2

Problems with the ConTeXt template in Pandoc 1.15.2

I have come across two issues with the new default ConTeXt template in 
Pandoc 1.15.2:

   1. There are two distinct meanings for 'title' in the combined 
   pandoc/context environment, and the new template does not properly deal 
   with them. So, when $title$ is defined, it sets up a formatted display of 
   the document title (one meaning of 'title') and applies it to every 
   unnumbered chapter-level heading (the other meaning of 'title'). It does 
   this with the \setuphead[title] directive, which is meant for meaning two. 
   The old template, I recall, explicitly placed a formatted title at the 
   beginning of the document without overriding the setting for 
   unnumbered-chapter-level headings. That practice should be restored.
   2. The \setupbodyfont[mainfont...] directive is placed too early. 
   ConTeXt delays a number of internal settings involving fonts until the 
   \setupbodyfont directive is encountered. By placing it high-up in the 
   template, a user is not able to usefully perform additional font diddling 
   (a technical term, I assure you) by way of a header include file. 
   Generally, I find that \setupbodyfont should be the directive immediately 
   preceding \starttext.

Otherwise, the template is a pleasant improvement.

Thanks, Rik. I'm still getting the hang of ConTeXt, so it's not surprising 
that I missed a few things; please do contribute any further 
problems/improvements you find.

Proposed fix for the title block problem is at 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/pull/156/files>.

There's already some work to improve the fonts at 
<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates/pull/154>.

Another ConTeXt question.

The default template seems to put page numbers on the top of
every page, including the first page.  This is unusual,
and different from the default latex setup.  Is there a way
to block the page number on the first page, in particular?
And would it be worth putting the number on the bottom by
default?

I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it seems to work.

\setuppagenumbering [location={footer,middle}]
\setupfootertexts   [\doifnot\pagenumber1{\pagenumber}]
