\startitemize[nowhite, after] . . . \stopitemize

Aditya, thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for the link. "after" does the trick, but not in an automatic way. I would like something which automagically "does the right thing". Perhaps it just doesn't exist in ConTeXt. The plain TeX macros I wrote for itemization do what I want, so I know it isn't (at least in plain TeX) a difficult thing.

\startitemize[packed,joinedup] should be the right combination.
I won't argue about "should", but I will point out it isn't, at least on my computer with a recently updated context.
Here is a non-minimal but short non-working example.
Sorry, then you need "nowhite". Usually that’s synonymous to "packed,joineup", but apparently not if whitespace is active.
"Usually" is in the eye of the beholder. ;-) I would have thought that having non-zero whitespace between paragraphs is common. For example, Aditya's blog linked to above has whitespace between paragraphs. Are you suggesting that is uncommon, or (showing my Context-noobness) is \setupwhitespace not the usual ConTeXt way to do this?
I added a few comments to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupitemgroup Unfortunately, this is one of the areas where we have a plethora of options and no documentation about them.
Thanks for adding them. I see you did not document the all-important (to me) "after" (or "before") in the wiki. Would you like to add that? If you don't have time right now, I'd be happy to do so. Cheers. Jim
