The following code,

\startcomponent

\setuphead[title][page=yes]
\setuppagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[location=,]

\setupheader[state=high]

\definehead[FMTitle][title]
\setuphead[FMTitle][header=high,alternative=middle,style={\tfb\rm},footer={}]
\setupheadertexts[text]
[\cap{A.\ U.\ Thor}]
[\pagenumber]
[\pagenumber]
[\em{Journal}]

\FMTitle[Preface]{Preface}

\dorecurse{6}{\input knuth} 
\blank[big]
And here I should like to recall what was said earlier in this \goto{Preface}[Preface] by \dots

\stopcomponent

fails on two counts: the page numbers are given in arabic numerals not roman numerals, and the cross-reference is ignored. The failure in the cross-reference may be due to a bug involving \startcomponent, if I understand Wolfgang correctly, and was wondering if the same might be true for \setuppagenumber[...]. If it is not, how may I fix the pagination?

I am running the latest ConTeXT standalone (MKIV).
