I looked in the wiki for “descriptions” and found this:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdescriptions
I played around a lot with the parameters from there in \setupbtxlist,
but the problem remains. The only way to get hanging indentation is
\setupbtxlist[alternative=hanging] and no matter what else I change the
respectively first lines of every publications list entry are not
aligned to the very left of the full text width :(
Maybe it has something to do with the numbering?
If I use \setupbtxrendering[numbering=yes] the numbers are aligned
properly to the very left while the following beginnings of the entries
are not. Maybe the problem is that the numbers are only “hidden”, but
not really “deleted”? (Excuse my probably incorrect use of terminology.)
For comparison I tried the old mechanism again:
\setupbibtex[database={<BibTeX_file>},sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\starttext
\title{Literaturverzeichnis}
\placepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
Here the hanging first lines of each entry align with the title at the
very left.
I can live with the actual state of the new mkiv mechanism for now as my
lecturers’ eyes will be blinded by the remaining perfect ConTeXt layout :)
But in future it would be great to have a real hanging indentation in
the publications list according to the definition that in hanging
indentation in contrary to normal indentation all but the very first
line (which starts as a normal line at the very left) are indented.

available and for the great quick support on the mailing list?

there is no hanging indentation.
Isn’t it possible for the first “hanging” line of an hanging indentation
layout to start exactly on the very left, while the next lines are
exactly indented?

To be honest, i don’t know exactly what you mean by „descriptions“.

APA style defaults with hanging indents in the publications list.
The respectively hanging first lines of each entry in the publications
list are not properly aligned on the left. (The indented lines are). I
would like all of those first lines to start on the very left of the
textfield.
If I use \hyphenation to prevent e.g. names from being hyphenated those
words might be driven into the right margin.
Hanging punctuation doesn’t seem to work as well.
Is there anything that can be done about that? Or how can the
justification be switched to flush left/ragged right with hanging
indents on the left?

PS: And by the way, “\placebtxrendering[criterium=all]” is not working
anymore. I think I had it working before to place all entries from the
BibTeX file into the publications list regardless of their actual
appearance in the text as citations–which was a good way to test only
the publications list’s layout.
\placebtxrendering[method=dataset]
