Looking at the countless documents that show off ConTeXt, it is obvious that it is very much possible of creating custom layouts. However, I wonder, how much TeX hacking is required?
I have submitted around 3-4 IEEE conference documents using ConTeXt. I am attaching my private t-IEEE.tex module, which takes care of formatting things in IEEE format. I also have a bbl file for formatting in IEEE style, which is used by the above module.
Unfortunately, I do not have any documentation (this was meant to be a private module). It also has a lot of private macros which are not layout specific, but I use them in almost all my documents. I haven't used this style in almost 6 months, so they may not conform to the latest spec. (IEEE keeps on changing specs with time and with conferences, which is a bit frustating).
If others are interested, I can also release it on ConTeXt garden and provide some documentation.

Hi Aditya, In general I find other peoples "templates" very educational.
PS: In your environment file you have
\setuplayout[ header = 0pt, footer = 0pt, headerdistance = 0pt, footerdistance = 0pt, top = 1.125in, topdistance = 0pt, bottom = 1.125in, bottomdistance = 0pt, leftedge = 0.85in, rightedge = 0.85in, height = fit]
ConTeXt will silently ignore all of this. You must not have space between keywords and options. Write this as
I've been using context, on and off, for 5 years and I did not know that! Does anyone know if there is a way to get context to stop when it sees an unknown option, instead of silently ignoring it? [...] -- John Devereux
