Your prose is fairly clear, but the style tends to be a bit too prescriptive for my tastes. I think a lot of it would be alleviated by you setting up the context a bit more ("this is what I found works for me, coming from the FO page model"). Still, you set out statements like this without telling the whole story:
I think that the first page makes my intentions clear. My audience is XML authors (though I think others will find the illustratons useful). I undertand that there are many ways of doing things in ConTeXt and I don't mean that ConTeXt authors should follow the advice. I think XML authors will want one clear way of doing things rather than confusing alternatives.
Looking at page-lay, it seems like your perceived "complications" would go away to some extent by telling people to use "width=middle", for example.
Fixed. The page now reflects the correct changes. Thanks for yoru feedback. I wish I had understood the width=middle earlier. I had to completely re-do my graphics once when I couldn't get cutspace to work, and then I had to change it again.
