2. a complete list of those typographical settings (bidi, whitespace, etc,) which are have to explicitly setup for such environments?

Whitespace etc. are unrelated to the problem above and can be changed with the normal setup-commands.

Counterexample to whitespace attached and below:

\setupwhitespace[big]

\starttext \input ward \par \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \par \input ward \stopfootnote{} \stoptext

Whitespace is applied in the main text but not in the footnotes. How is this case different from global declaration of bidi etc.? It seems these elements really do live in their own world now..

Again, what are the general classes of commands and guidelines governing what declarations are globally applied and which are not?
