When you want to change the structure of your document when using
structure levels, all that you need do is add or subtract a level of
nesting. With named levels, it is easy to create complicated documents
that jump around in level, which would be pretty messy.
on the other hand, when you look at a piece of coded document you no
longer know if you're in an important chapter or unimportant
subsubsubsubsubsubsection
so, in the end it all boils down to circumstances and usage which is why
we have several methods
What a nightmare it would be to add or subtract a named structure level
in a complicated document.
This being said, I still mostly use named structure levels myself, as
old habits are hard to change (but don't tell Hans this!).
ha, well, if i remember right this nested anonymous sectioning was added
on your request .. so it is now one of those orphaned features
anyway, i tend to replace
\chapter{foo}
by
\startchapter[title=foo]
\stopchapter
but at a much lower level keep using \subsubsection and alike
(also because then with chapters one can more conveniently set other
properties)

the fil is taken into account when calculating the best break points and
then the XX is fixed but plus/minus can lead to if being less or more,
all relative to other fill (distributed)
so, XX plus (hsize - 3*indent) is not a fixed value, it's XX or more
take this:
\ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm x}
the skip will stretch more than 1cm
\ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm\relax x%
x\hskip0pt plus 2cm\relax x}
now the glue gets distributed 1:2, so now you can guess
\ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip1mm plus 1cm\relax x%
x\hskip8mm plus 2cm\relax x}
Are there other ways? I can think of:

you can see what glue eventually is used with:

I agree. That chapter is confusing if you do not know already how the

works.
I tried to create the first example of the
documentation "Page 257 Anchors and layers",
but failed with mkii and iv. The page is created,
but without the graphical elements. Not using
\startbuffer--\stopbuffer makes no difference.
You are simply setting the positions. You also need to tell ConTeXt to do
something with the positions.
1. First define a position graphic that does something with the anchors that
it is passed.
\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:arrow}
pair c[] ;
initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}});
c[1] := cxy ;
initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{to}});
c[2] := cxy ;
drawarrow c[1] -- c[2] withpen pencircle scaled 2bp ;
\stopMPpositiongraphic
cxy is the center of the box. See the defn of initialize_box in mp-core.mp
for other values. I wish these were better documented.
2. Then define a position overlay that specifies the relation between the
anchors.
\startpositionoverlay{arrow}
\setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-2}
\setMPpositiongraphic{X-2}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-3}
\stoppositionoverlay
3. Define an overlay that is mapped to MP position overlay.
\defineoverlay[arrow][\positionoverlay{arrow}]
4. Hook the overlay as a page background
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=arrow]
5. Then everything will work.

Why is there such a difference please?
because the zero glue is discarded (in context) due to another one
taking precedence; i'll be a bit more tolerant but i'm not sure of side

(for now using 1sp plus 2ex is quite ok)
