Try taking the \startpublication ... \stoppublication before \starttext. Seems to work for me that way.

Hello (Taco or anyone else),

I have an impression that it used to be possible to say
\cite[author][reference], but I'm obviously doing something wrong
here, I only get Xxxxxxx or in case of [data] I don't get anything at
all (I'm using mkii). Here's an almost-minimal example:

\usemodule
       [bib]
\setuppublications
       [alternative=num,
        criterium=all,
        sorttype=cite]
\setuppublicationlist
       [artauthor=\normalshortauthor,
        author=\normalshortauthor]

\starttext

first: \cite[Knoll]

second: \cite[author][Knoll], \cite[alternative=author][Knoll]

third: \cite[data][Knoll]

\startpublication[k=Knoll,t=book,a=Knoll]
       \title{Radiation Detection and Measurement}
       \author[]{Glenn Frederick}[G.~F.]{}{Knoll}
       \pubname{Wiley, John \& Sons, Incorporated}
       \pubyear{1979}
\stoppublication

\placepublications

\stoptext

Thanks in advance for any hints,
   Mojca
