\definestartstop just provides some syntax sugar around that.

From core-sys.mkiv

\def\dododefinestartstop[#1][#2]%
   { ....
    \setvalue{\e!start#1}%
      {\getvalue{\??be#1\c!before}%
       \bgroup
       \getvalue{\??be#1\c!commands}%
       \dostarttagged\t!construct{#1}%
       \dostartattributes{\??be#1}\c!style\c!color\empty}%
    \setvalue{\e!stop#1}%
      {\dostopattributes
       \dostoptagged
       \egroup
       \getvalue{\??be#1\c!after}}}


So, it is basically defining \start#1 and \stop#1, while I was defining 
them explicitly.
