\onovocalize calls up a different list of ocp's. The default as I have set 
things up for my document is \ovocalize. I must keep \onovocalize within a

Ok, here's what happens:

\let\TOC\firstofoneargument
\setuplist  [section][style=\let\TOC\onovocalize]

Here's my section:

\section{\TOC{'a.sAlaTu al-'aysi 'aw 'a.sAlaTu al-.s.sayrUraTi?}}

Here's what I get:
