It is a bug. ConTeXt sometimes uses the rightmargindistance for the
left margin, which would be correct for a double sided layout, but
is definitely wrong for a single sided document. However, even in a
double sided layout the calculations are not correct. Here a smaller
example. Note that the output is wrong either way, with
\setuppagenumbering commented out or not.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Manual Errata
Hi, During a recent plane ride, I started to read the ConTeXt manual to get a better understanding: http://www.ctex.org/documents/context/cont-enp.pdf If anyone has plans to revise it, I have attached a file with corrections, specific comments, and general comments. I did not have the ConTeXt manual source code on hand, so I could not directly modify it. Take the comments with a grain of salt: I have little ConTeXt experience. I hope it proves useful. Kindest regards. ConTeXT Manual Errata Suggestions === Section 1.3. The word something needs to be defined before it is used. For example, \setupsomething - What does something mean? The \defineenumeration[Question] creates a \Question command, but \definehead[Procedure][section] does not create \Procedure command? (Should the capital P not carry forward?) The \startnarrower requires an explanation on how it affects the resulting document. Likewise \startitemnize. What does the of in \beginofAnswer mean? Is it required? Where does it come from? Why is it not simply \beginAnswer? Figure 1.1 is typeset this way should include the page number. The last example -- does this refer to the previous example, or the final example? The command \setupfootertexts, which we will discuss in detail in a later chapter, has three arguments of which the first is optional. The first argument defaults to [text]. Optional arguments are displayed as slanted text. Can be: The command \setupfootertexts, discussed in detail chapter X, has three arguments. The first argument is optional as denoted by slanted text, and has a default value of text. ConTeXt is able to keep track of the status of information on the page, ... is tersely written, ConTeXt tracks status information per page, such as the current chapter name. Provide an immediate example of arrow marks in a frame. Section 1.4. TeX does a lot is TeX performs many. Document processing is best done by TeXexec -- is this still true? I thought the context program supercedes TeXexec? Describe the relationship between TeX and ConTeXt. For example, why do the subsequent sections discuss TeX examples? Section 1.5. TeX uses ASCII, but ConTeXt can use UTF-8. Is the information about ASCII a bit misleading? ConTeXt fully supports PDFTeX, which means that you can generate PDF output directly can be written, ConTeXt can produce PDF documents, because it fully supports PDFTeX. Section 1.6.1. -- Still relevant with UTF-8? Section 1.6.2. -- Does \par hold true for ConTeXt? How would you use it? Show an example.

Regarding sane interlinespace,
Hans wrote,

OK. That's helpful.
But notice that in the following example, the interline space that
causes the problem is in the *first* section (where htdp is 12pt and
baselineskip is also 12pt!), while the gap shows up in the *second*
section, whose interlinespace is 2.8ex:
\def\printHtdp{\setbox0\hbox{()} \the\htdp0,\the\baselineskip}
\definecolumnset[columnset1][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[columnset1][distance=5mm,balance=yes]
\starttext
\section{Introduction}
\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]
\startcolumnset[columnset1]
\printHtdp
\dorecurse {7} { \input knuth }
\stopcolumnset
\section{Bibliography}
\tfxx
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] %or use 11pt
\startcolumnset[columnset1]
\printHtdp
\dorecurse {10} { \input knuth }
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
Since the problem can appear a ways after the cause, that makes it an
especially hard problem to track down, especially for someone who is
unaware of the nature of the problem. But even now that we're aware of
what the problem (hopefully) is, we've not been able to fix it in our
real-life document.
We sprinkled in many places the code to show htdp and baselineskip
(\printHtdp). E.g. in the early sections that would putatively cause the
problem, our htdp/baselineskip in 8.60252pt,10.5pt. That's a ratio of
more than 1.2. We have eliminated all the places we could find where the
htdp/baselineskip ratio was less than 1.2, even where there was no text.
But the gap persists.
We have a large and complex document, so there might conceivably be
places where a larger htdp than expected is hiding. Are there any tools
for automatically going through a document and reporting places where
not-sane interlinespace occurs?
Thanks,
Lars

Balancing is semi automatic and nearly always demands some tweaks. Using columnsets for a large document that has to flow automatically is therefore debatable. Regular multi columns or in mkiv mixed-columns are a better choice then. You need to keep in mind that tex has no concept of columns so it is faked by using a virtual page nofcolumns * text height. Anyway, as columnsets are supposed to cooperate with grid mode, any messing with the lineheight will interfere. Normally a document has a consistent lineheight everywhere.

[NTG-context] Inline math in table in combination fails
Hi,
The following example results in the error “You can't assign a
glue_spec node to a prev field”
\starttext
\startcombination [2*1]
{\starttable [|c|]
\NC \math{1} \VL\NR\HL
\stoptable}{}
{\starttable [|c|]
\NC \math{2} \VL\NR
\stoptable}{}
\stopcombination
\stoptext
It works without the combination, without the vertical or horizontal
rule and when no math mode is used. It used to work some time ago,
so I assume it's a bug.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] OT: Putting a context to the 2013 ConTeXt Meeting location
I am so disappointed that I cannot attend the upcoming ConTeXt meeting in Brejlov, but as I type this I am remembering vividly the hospitality and affection shown by all at the 2010 meeting, especially Pavel's father, to this tee-totalling vegetarian---not something that lands up at the Brejlov Inn too often, I imagine! The reason for my absence this year is that I will be heading to India shortly to conduct what is known as antim yatra (final journey) in Hindi for my mother; I'll leave the details of what that implies to those who wish to search on DuckDuckGo ;). Anyway that is strictly an aside to this post. You'll have to forgive me if I am feeling sentimental, but Prague does, as it has throughout its history, enter one's soul. To walk through its streets is to be smitten by it for life. Recently I picked up a book that I would like to share as it may help provide a context to those travelling through Prague on their way to Brejlov. Prague: Capital of the Twentieth Century A Surrealist History by Derek Sayer All the best to those who are attending. I am envious!
