I think it would be nice to have the manuals improved in the following not very costly way (??? indicates my ignorance):

Since the manual doesn't even mention all those options, even a very short hint is much better than just trying around to get an idea what's the idea of an option.
I usually find the "etexshow" mode for Emacs helpful. It gives you easy access to the details of ConTeXt commands.
