Well, I never need this, so I thought that information was correct.
I will do some tests when I'll have time to see if works for me.

Oh crap, I thought Wagner's solution worked but it doesn't -- quite.
\showframe indicates that the page areas are defined correctly, and
the footer frame on page 2 and later is the correct size. But Context
is not filling the text columns all the way to the bottom; The body
text is still stopping short as though the larger footer was still in
effect.
Frustrating.
