The documentation on page
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description
provides sample code to stack multiple levels of description such as:
\setuppapersize[A5]
\definedescription[descr][
headstyle=bold, style=normal, align=left, location=hanging,
width=broad, margin=1cm
]\starttext
\startdescr{Para}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
This is another paragraph under the "Para" item.
\startdescr{Sub Item}
This is a description of an item which is within the "Para" item.
\stopdescr\startdescr{Sub Item}
Another Sub Item
\stopdescr
\stopdescr
\startdescr{Short}
A short item that's not part of that really long "Para" item.
\stopdescr\stoptext
which should generate the included rendering.

But reality is somewhat more diverse …
My current context / luatex, as well as the online context engine come up with a different rendering

Even when you correct for the right/left alignment, the itemising does not properly stack up:

It there a work around ?
$ context --version
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.63
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2016.09.24 12:40
$ luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.0.0 (TeX Live 2017/dev)
Thanks
