Ok so after reading the source code of strc-des.mkiv, I found that contrary to earlier documentation such as
http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf
it is not the 'number' parameter that should be used to share numbering but the 'counter' parameter.
Partly my fault. I requested some of the features that are in that article but haven't really tested them in MkIV.
On a sidenote, I would like to contribute to the wiki or whatever is the main documentation source of the ConTeXt project something to document those parameters that are specific de \setupenumerations. The context reference manual and the wiki both just refer to \setupdescriptions yet there are a number of parameters that don't exist for \setupdescriptions, such as number, counter, prefix, prefixcomponents, etc.
Adding the missing options to the wiki is a good start. Currently, there is no syncing between the wiki and the cont-en.xml file (in texmf-context/tex/context/interface) that was used to generate that content. You could simulaneously add the appropriate keys to cont-en.xml and send the diff file to Hans. (There were plans to reimplement that in lua, but I do not know what is the current state of it). It will be nice to have a comprehensive wiki page on enumerations. Aditya
