coming back to this again, if one uses old-style numerals for the page
numbering the "problem" is aggravated:
\showframe\showglyphs
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [onum=yes]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [garamondno8]
\setupbodyfont[mainface,12pt]
\setupheader [style=\smallbodyfont\ss\it]
\setupheadertexts [section]
\setuppagenumbering[location={header,margin}, style=\bfc]
\starttext
\dorecurse{97}{\section{Introduction}
bla
\page[yes]}
\stoptext
now, it also is obious that the "baseline jumps" occur in the page numbers
themselves (caused mainly by the
large extension of the `6') so going, e.g., from page 25 to 26 the `2'
jumps downward quite a bit. I understand
that this is unavoidable if the positions are determined as they seemingly
are (measuring from the top and separately
for each page). what I at least would think to be nicer would be a
situation where the baseline is determined for
the _whole_ document as the minimum (lowest position on page) of all
page-wise baselines (that would be determined by the digit `6' in the
present example)
and then using _that_ baseline for all headers and page numbers which
would eliminate the jittering of header lines and page numbers.
I am aware that this will not always be the desired behaviour and that
there might be documents where header layout might not be identical
document wide,
so it might open a can of worms, but for most book-type documents I would
think this to be reasonable and desirable.
my questions:
-- would that (a common baseline for the text in all the page headers) be
better or worse than the present behaviour from a typographical point of
view?
-- if desirable, could/should it be done?
-- could such behaviour be achieved presently with some clever trick?

solutions:
- use a proper height for the header
- package the header text in a box and set the height of that box
