Is there a best practice for ConTeXt source files, at all?
Readable code is not just about formatting. Adding clear and complete comments that document the code can be considered even more important.

I guess many of us adhere to Hans’ style, as shown in the sources.
i.e. e.g.
\setupsomething
 [name]
 [key=value,
  otherkey=value]
while I prefer:
\setupsomething[name][
 key=value,
 otherkey=value,
]
That looks clearer to me and works a bit better with automatic indenting in editors.
But source code formatting is a matter of taste in most cases.
