Is there “toffset” option for \setupbackgrounds in context

I'm trying to learn `context`, and I'm satisfied with their capacities. I read in contextgarden http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupbackgrounds that options of `\setupbackgrounds` inherit from `\setupframed`, but if I setup `toffset=5mm` for `\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]` I have no effect? With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a single direction? Code \setuppapersize[A4] \setuppagenumbering[state=none] \setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext

With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a single direction? The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to draw the background.
