Sorry, something went wrong with my mailer (accidently sent the message too
early).

Nice challenge, but in the end pretty easy:

\setuphead
  [subsection]
  [alternative=text,
   before={\blank[10pt]},
   after=,
   style=bold,
   command=\mysubsection]

\def\mysubsection#1#2{#2.}

You could also say: number=no, to tell context, that this will not be
numbered. Though the output is not an different at all, the table of
contents would be. EXperimenting is the game here.

Now I wonder, would Hans come up with a completely different solution?
