Yes, that is just what I do now, except that I use \completecontent and 
not \placelist[chapter,section], having excluded lower-level sectioning 
headers via \setupcombinedlist. I am asking if there is a way to take 
advantage of user-defined or system modes, or section blocks, to 
accomplish this without requiring explicit markup (silentsection in your 
example) in the text. I suspect that it is possible, particularly if I 
want the silentsections only in certain section blocks.

The document is set differently for print and screen, and minimizing the 
differences after \starttext seems to me to be generally advantageous.
