ConTeXters,

What is the best way to get the current section number in a basic format
(pt.ch.s.ss... as displayed in the log in structure sectioning entries)
for display in a custom log entry (via \writestatus)? I have tried
\fullheadnumber and such, but cannot find something appropriate.

\writestatus{!!!!!!}{\getfullstructurenumber{\thenamedheadlevel{subsection}}}


Nope. With commands like these:
\starttexdefinition LogNote #NOTETEXT
  \writestatus{Note}{{\getfullstructurenumber{\thenamedheadlevel{section}}:p.\pagenumber} #NOTETEXT}
\stoptexdefinition

\LogNote{See http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/ter.eunuchus.html for the original.}
and the note is in a section, I get:
Note            > {\oldstylenumerals {1}\color [red]{A·}\oldstylenumerals {8}:p.19} See http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/ter.eunuchus.html for the original.

which reflects the formatting of the chapter and section numbers. But worse, I have to track the section depth, because if the note is at a different level there is nothing displayed for the sectioning. I want the unformatted numbers as displayed in

structure       > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 1.3.5 -> Group authorship and works for hire

and if I do not have to track the level and recurse to pick up each component that would be better.
