Good point, in the actual case there were two columns, a name and a number. The reason for using the table is align the name to the left and the number to the right. So a more realistic example is something like
\starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[c][2][align=left] \dorecurse{10}{ \bTR\bTD foo\eTD\bTD 123\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD b \eTD\bTD 123456\eTD\eTR} \eTABLE \stoptext Thank you for your interest.
