Hello,
I'm still trying to typeset a "grid-keeping" list (or table).
Sorry, no answer.
Only to say that I'm following this subject, and I'm doing some private tests.
Thank you! I hope you will be more successful than I am.
I do not understand why this is such a problem. Basically, it's just
about "paragraph boxes" and their proper alignment on a grid.
To me, such a list seems like a basic typographic requirement, so it
should be possible to do that in ConTeXt.
the problem with tex is that it does not hav ea way to force consistent height and depth of lines, so here are a few tricks: 
 
\begstrut some text \endstrut \endgraf 

\snaptogrid\vbox{some text}
