This works only because ConTeXt has some sanity checks, so a new
\startsubsection will implicitly stop an un-stopped subsection. But
it is bad practice to count on this, for I am sure that there are some
situations where something might fail.
The \startXXX ... \stopXXX syntax is generally better than using
simple, traditional (LaTeX) \chapter commands as this exports much
better or more cleanly to xml/xhtml, for example, and produces much
cleaner tagged PDF output as well.

I was wondering if the \stopchapter (or more generally \stop<head>) were needed ? In my document I write in some instances:
\startsubsection
Bla bla
\startsubsection
etc ….
and it seems to work fine (but perhaps pure luck or is the \startsubsection implictly ends the previous one).
