The width of the text area will be typefitted to the body font size using the table in Bringhurst's "The Elements of Typographic Style." Indeed, this page design takes its inspiration from that book.
Hope that's not _too_ concrete. :-)
Just a short example:
\setuplayout [ backspace=0.10\paperwidth, width=0.60\paperwidth, rightmargin=0.25\paperwidth, footer=0pt, topspace=0.10\paperheight, height=0.70\paperheight]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setuplabeltext[en][chapter=Chapter ]
\define[2]\ChapterCommand {\inright[][align=middle]{#1}% \midaligned{#2}}
\setuphead [chapter] [command=\ChapterCommand, header=empty, textstyle=\cgd, numberstyle=\scb]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]
\definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif] [pagella] [default] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans] [modern] [default] \definetypeface[mainface][cg][calligraphy][chorus] [default] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [palatino][default]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext %\showframe
\startchapter[title=Knuth] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stopchapter
\startchapter[title=Zapf] \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopchapter
\stoptext

Thanks, Wolfgang! I'll give it a shot and study your example so I can learn from it! Gosh this list is nice! Reminds me of the "good old days" when we used UUCP, bang-paths and C-News to communicate (or the early ARPANET days): polite, expert, very willing to share knowledge &c.
