Yep. Just found that I get back the first horizontal line by:

\setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on]

Aaah, ok. Does it mean that \starttable/\stoptable is a simpler way of
writing tables with less possiblities than the \bTABLE/\eTABLE stuff? 

Is also seemed to me that it is not easy to get those shadings using
\starttable/\stoptable. Otherwise you would have given me an example
using \starttable/\stoptable.
