Why does \hsize revert to \textwidth after a page and a paragraph?

 \starttext
   \hsize200pt
   \dorecurse{60}{\recurselevel: \the\hsize\ \the\textwidth\par}
 \stoptext

because the main text flow width and height settings are synchronized ... \hsize and \vsize are for local use
Okay.

What is the scope of local use? It is different from grouping (as demonstrated by placing the middle two lines above in braces).
