Many thanks. Had come up with this awkward workaround:

\define[1]\FLUSHRIGHT{\hfill#1\hbox to0.7em{}}

\setuplist[chapter][width=2.8em]
\setuplist[chapter][stopper=.,numbercommand=\FLUSHRIGHT]

Does the attached tex file look correct?

\setuplist
   [chapter]
   [alternative=c,
    width=1.85em,
    distance=0.5em,
    numberalign=flushright,
    level=chapter]

\definecombinedlist
[content]
[chapter]

If one turns on \showframe, one sees that the width value does not prevent  
crossing the left side of the textblock (a good thing). OTOH, getting the  
TOC numerals to lineup with the left side is a matter of trial and error.  
[width=1.85em comes close]

And if the document is changed so that the wider roman numerals are not  
needed, then one has to reset the width value, again by trial and error.

So is there a way to make the left side of the textblock flush with the  
widest roman? It's by no means urgent, but sine we are supposed to be able  
to automate nearly everything.. -)

Ah, our npp-4-context config files for calltips need updating, I have

\definecombinedlist [NAME]
[LIST]
[INHERIT: \setuplist]

but that should be

\definecombinedlist [NAME]
[LIST]
[INHERIT: \setupcombinedlist]

Many thanks.
