You should try to make your code more readable.

\definelistplacement[MyListItemIT][none]#1#2#3% {\maxaligned\bgroup \rlap{\it#1}%

\framed[frame=off,align=middle,location=bottom,width=broad,foregroundstyle=\TOCstyleBF]{#2}%

...

\llap{\tf#3}% \egroup}

I did not know "\maxaligned"

even me --- it's normal, it's hard to be in sync with all the changes of the source. I suspect that it's an internal macro, can even change. Wolfgang often uses internal macro, gaining speed but loosing compatibility. As general rule (another...) in my stylesheets I try to use TeX macros and ConTeXt switches (i.e. key=val) especially if they are related to long term projects.

Actually, Wolfgang seldom uses internal macros. Macros like \maxaligned are helpers that are used to build regular commands, so they're part of the infrastructure and Wolfgang knows the context internals amazingly well. There are some obscure helpers that might dissappear but most are there for a reason and will stay. So, we have: commands: offcial interface helpers : more low level, no key/values etc hidden : not meant to be used unless on your own risk Btw, \rlap and \llap are quite standard in a tex system.
