This does not work with references, \in[ref] still gives . as the 
separator. Consider IEEE's journal and conference requirements

In the head only show the current number

Section        I.
Subsection     B.
Subsubsection  3)
paragraph      a)

While refereing to a section, use

Section       I
Subsection    I-A
subsubsection I-A.1
paragraph     I-A.1.a


The first part is easy

\setupsection[section-3][bodypartconversion=Romannumerals]
\setupsection[section-4][bodypartconversion=Character,
                          previousnumber=no]
\setupsection[section-5][bodypartconversion=numbers,
                          previousnumber=no]
\setupsection[section-6][bodypartconversion=character,
                          previousnumber=no]

\setuphead[section]
           [numbercommand={\groupedcommand{}{.}}]

\setuphead[subsection]
           [numbercommand={\groupedcommand{}{)}}]


I could never get the second part working and had to go back to Latex 
:-( Hoping that your reimplementation is before my next deadline.
