We've already got \setdigitmode, \setdigitorder, and \setdigitspace; it might make sense to create a \setupdigits to consolidate these setups into one interface. Something like this:
\setupdigits [mode=4, % -->\setdigitmode{4} % (decimal period, thinspace between groups) inputdecimalmark={,}, % -->\setdigitorder{0} signspace=yes, % -->\setdigitsign{1}; '+ 1.4', not '+1.4' times=\times, % or times=\cdot ]

P.s: I've been thinking I'd like to write more contexty interface that doesn't use predefined modes, but lets you setup the decimal mark, separator mark, the input decimal mark, etc. Something like this:
\setupdigits [inputdecimal={.}, % input 3.1415926535 decimal={,} separator=\space, groupsize=4, % output 3,1415 9265 45 signspace=,] % +3.14159...
That could even tie into \setuplanguage to allow setting language-specific defaults. Would anyone be interested in this?
+1 again!
needs a bit of thinking as when we start this route we get lots of new keywords (with the danger of introducing inconsistencies) so first we need to collect all potential candidates for such keys (e.g. using separator might be too generic ) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
