Consider a section which contains some content, followed by a subsection, 
followed by more content in the same section. I would tend to set this with 
vertical space indicating the end of the subsection. Without an explicit  
\stop the additional content of the section could belong either to the 
section or the subsection.

For me it isn't a problem, because I master in XML and create ConTeXt code 
from the XML using OmniMark. But for those using ConTeXt as a master format 
it must be quite important.
