But what is with context? How is it handled there? Does it allow spaces in font names?
Yes: it accepts both "name:Lucida Sans" and "name:lucidasans" as user input (as well as a file: equivalent)
If yes does the equivalent of \font\testa="name:Lucida Sans" \testa abc \font\test=\fontname\font\space at 15pt \test abc break or does context have some correction code?
It succeeds, because internally context uses the 'file:' approach in all cases. Since file: is the default, it is not even reported by \fontname, which would be 'lbr' in this case (assuming Y&Y/TUG names). I assume context would fail on filenames with spaces in them, but otoh Hans probably disallows those right from the start.
