:-) Not sure if I can solve all your problems, but here are a few pointers:
1. for the url, you could use a command which provides a url that can be
hyphenated. Surprisingly enough, it is called \hyphenatedurl{}.
2. TeX doesn't hyphenate in certain situations, e.g., when a word is already
hyphenated (and apparently when it contains a period). In ConTeXt, you can wrap
these symbols into ||, and TeX will happily hyphenate (see section 7.8 of
cont-eni). In your case, you can write cfbdatawarehouse|.|com
3. Your caption: well, since you do not apply the bodyfontswitch to all of the
lines, but to each line individually, you never give ConTeXt a chance to
calculate the interlinespace. You shouldn't format individual lines, but use
something like this:
\setupcaptions[style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]},
align=center]
However, I was surprised to see that the caption was not centered below the
image, so I ended up with
\placefigure [left]
{\framed[align=middle,frame=off]{Joel Wheelock in track uniform \\
{\it Cumberland County Historical \\
Society, Carlisle, PA}}}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=2.2 in]}
This works, but seems like a kludge. Anything better?
4. As for words sticking out in the margin: TeX does its best, but sometimes,
no good line breaks can be found. A certain word processor will then go on and
stretch your interword space and even interletter space within words. TeX
doesn't do that and will let words stick out to warn you. If you don't want to
/ can't edit the text, you'll have to allow it to be less strict. You should
read about \setuptolerance in cont-eni, section 4.13.
