Conventions for setting the degrees of temperature symbol vary; see

I agree they vary, and no space before the °C is quite common (and
frequently my own practice too). However in setting default
behaviour for Context I am inclined to favour conforming to
international standards, where they exist (but a \setupunits
override it probably called for).
I have no opinion as to what the default behaviour should be, but it
would certainly be useful to have spacing for ° temperature
configurable separately from that for other units.
so, best is that those asking for it come up with a list of issues:
which symbols need this option, is it language related or whatever, so
that i can do them all at once. We can already have different mapping
sets so spacing could be part of that.
