That makes sense. I wasn't really thinking of my sections as "chapters" per se. And I was forcing sections (each >5 pages) to start on new (odd) pages. But switching to chapters is fine and takes care of some other stuff I was forcing.

I found this on wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents for suppressing header/footer on TOC. I did not specify frontmatter before, but moving the header/footer content into the environment file messed up my formerly clean TOC page. :-) So, I've currently got: \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupheader[state=none] \setupfooter[state=none] \stopsectionblockenvironment Do I keep this and also include your code above?
