I need this functionality for a project (IEEE conference style), so
here is hack to get the feature. The referencing also works.
Use with caution, can break existing macros.
Wow, thanks a lot! This works as expected. In what situation can it
break existing macros? I intend to use that extensively but in a
fairly simple document (a thesis... yeah, another one in ConTeXt!). Is
there anything I should _not_ do?
hm, can on esummarize what will break macros? (i was away for a week
with time for email)
A patch that I sent to Jeff. There is a problem with separators and
setuphead. I have summarized the problem and a possible patch in the
attached file. However, I do not know if it will break something in
multi-lingual documents (esp. Arabic), so I sent the patch with a
disclaimer.
i took a quick look at it; the problem is that it will mess up other things; the period in fullsectionnumber is a placeholder that will be replaced later on; the actual code where things happen in \doseparatednumber and it's not that easy to hook level dependent separators in there
(i will reimplement sectionnumbering some day soon due to some other pending issues)
anyhow, here's another approach:
[snip]
This does not work with references, \in[ref] still gives . as the 
separator. Consider IEEE's journal and conference requirements

In the head only show the current number

Section        I.
Subsection     B.
Subsubsection  3)
paragraph      a)

While refereing to a section, use

Section       I
Subsection    I-A
subsubsection I-A.1
paragraph     I-A.1.a

The first part is easy

\setupsection[section-3][bodypartconversion=Romannumerals]
\setupsection[section-4][bodypartconversion=Character,
                          previousnumber=no]
\setupsection[section-5][bodypartconversion=numbers,
                          previousnumber=no]
\setupsection[section-6][bodypartconversion=character,
                          previousnumber=no]

\setuphead[section]
           [numbercommand={\groupedcommand{}{.}}]

\setuphead[subsection]
           [numbercommand={\groupedcommand{}{)}}]

I could never get the second part working and had to go back to Latex 
:-( Hoping that your reimplementation is before my next deadline.
