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..

This would lead to other side effects shown in the following example.

Yes, ok.

When you use the global whitespace settings in footnotes you get the same space between each footnote entry. What can be done is to add a whitespace key to setupnote which is easier than using setups-environment.

Could this be a feature request then? So \setupnote[whitespace=big,bidi=on] [Although in the case of bidi I still think that one declaration of bidi=global at the beginning of the document should radiate to all other elements, except as otherwise configured through their \setup<command>'s etc.] Many thanks for the explanations.
