I think so, too. It has been a long time since I used ConTeXt. So I
have to refresh my rusty knowledge :-)

Right, but I'd guess that the default command is quite tricky. All
ConTeXt commands are quite tricky.

There is no horizontal "space" command between #1 (number) and #2
(title). But "space" is not just a simple " ". It can be many things.
I don't know if there is any good reading about these kind of spaces,
but let me show you a few:
( ) regular space is pretty small, but can be stretched
\enspace fixed space 0.5em
\enskip space .5em (so called "skip")
\quad space 1em "
\qquad space 2em "
\kern xx space xx
\hfil, \hfill "very long" and "very very long" space

It is more a matter of section numbers/no section numbers.
