Actually I did have a look at it (assuming you're talking about textbackgrounds), but I found their behaviour to be rather different from that of backgrounds even when location=paragraph. For example, setting frame=on doesn't give me a frame, and it doesn't seem to support rounded corners for neither the background nor the frame. Also, setting a largish offset "covers" the text that precedes the background, and this isn't nice at all. I think that textbackgrounds and backgrounds serve different purpouses.
And what about the other requests? (Behaviour at splits, different corner styles)
\starttext
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground[gb][state=start]
\startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset}
for i := 1 upto nofmultipars :
fill multipars[i] enlarged 5pt cornered 5pt withcolor green ;
draw multipars[i] enlarged 5pt cornered 5pt withcolor red ;
endfor ;
\stopuseMPgraphic\input tufte \blank
\starttextbackground[gb]
\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}
\stoptextbackground
\blank \input tufte\stoptext
they split, can have corners, lay behind the text, ...
only some spacing issues need to be solved (working on that on and off)
