First: I agree that when you begin using Context, the documentation isn't as helpful as one could hope (John, of course, is not a beginner). But seeing that Hans is so busy developing Context, it's easy to see why there isn't more time to write documentation about it. And I think Patrick's wiki is making great progress and beginning to be filled with lots of interesting things. In this case, however, I find the handbook quite clear. \setupitemize takes three brackets, the first one is defined as "number each." This defines the level of the itemization you want to set up, 1 being the outer or topmost level etc. Every \startitemize is located at a precise level (i.e. nested within other itemizations or not), so there's no use for this first pair of brackets.

Second question: The definition of \setupitemize seems to use three sets of square brackets but \startitemize seems to only use two. So, at the \startitemize level, which paramaters go in which set of braces?
If I might chime in: it would be nice to see some sort of extended explanation with examples for the format used in ConTeXt's documentation. Because I often look at it and it does not immediately hit me what is meant. Now I am stupid, I know, but still, some sort of explanation should be nice (the manual I read more or less used the syntax without thoroughly explaining them with examples, or at least that is what I got when reading it. Might have been me.).
