Using \startchapter\stopchapter or \startitem\stopitem could present
some logical advantage over the use of \chapter or \item, for example.
However, it would be useful to have some sort of sanity check
giving warnings at least if the \start\stop symmetry is violated.
As a minimal example, the following simple case of one logical error
leads to an undesired result. Of course, you get what you asked,
but some sort of warning could be useful. Or, rather, is the general
philosophy to silently pass over such errors so as not to load down
the log in the face of such user errors?
Indeed, under ConTeXt, unknown or incorrect arguments are simply ignored.
(in other cases, for example forgetting \stoptext, ConTeXt protests vocally)
