I don't remember exactly (and it was bug anyway even if my code could
have been optimized), but I wanted to have different font size,
different position, different placement in TOC ("Appendix A - Title"
instea of just "A Title"), different page breaking, ... Though I still
didn't figure out how to have "Appendix A -" also printed out in TOC
(instead of plain "A").

So I simply defined another type of section (faster solution than
figuring out how to change appearance of chapter in appendices only).

I defined the second list for that purpose (really ugly, but the
fastest way to get it done). But there was a tiny problem with that as
well (mkii more problematic) - I didn't manage to get the spacing
between two consecutive lists right. For example (compare mkii and
mkiv):

\definecombinedlist
        [contenta]
        [chapter,section]
        [level=section,
         criterium=all,alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]

\setuplist
        [chapter]
        [style=bold]

\setupwhitespace[big]

\starttext

\placecontenta [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]
\placecontenta [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]

\blank % no effect in mkii at all - remains too narrow

\placecontenta [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]

\blank\blank[big]

\placecontenta [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]

\crlf % too big

\placecontenta [alternative=c,aligntitle=yes,width=2.5em]

\chapter{a}
\section{a.1}
\section{a.2}
\chapter{b}
\section{b.1}
\section{b.2}

\stoptext
