The spacing is still wrong. Compare:

\starttext
  \chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,->,2H_2O}\blank
  \startchemicalformula
    \chemical{2H_2}
    \chemical{PLUS}
    \chemical{O_2}
    \chemical{GIVES}
    \chemical{2H_2O}
  \stopchemicalformula
\stoptext

How to mid-align the reaction? Wrapping the \startchemicalformula in
\startformula works, but it's clumsy.

That's brilliant!
