I think it would be nice to have the manuals improved in the
following not very costly way (??? indicates my ignorance):

\setuplayout[..,..=..,..]
width dimension fit middle ..... width, ??? and orientation of main text
height dimension fit middle ..... height of main text
backspace dimension
topspace dimension
margin dimension
nx number..................... ???
ny number..................... ???
dx dimension.................. ???
dy dimension.................. ???
lines number..................... number of lines on the page
[I don't know the relation to height]
grid yes no..................... invoking setting to grit


Since the manual doesn't even mention all those options, even a very
short hint is much better than just trying around to get an idea what's
the idea of an option.

I usually find the "etexshow" mode for Emacs helpful. It gives you easy access to the details of ConTeXt commands.

as soon as i have a couple of thinsg up and running, the setup xml files will be extended with such extra info
