Well, after some turbulencies my Times font really and perfectly works,
including my coveted Oldstyle / Expert Set.
It really is all very simple, as a few people have told me on this list. For
me, the best solution was to ask Taco to have a look into it, and when even
he got into a tangle over it, I was comforted that I wouldn't have easily
pulled it off even if I had his expertise :-)
Taco sent me the new working files and to complete the story (so far, who
knows what might happen if the font setup gets upgraded again...) I provide
these successful files as example:

De kat krabt de krullen van de trap in Times roman, {\bf bold}, {\it
italic}, {\bi bold-italic},
{\tfa groter} en {\tfx kleiner}
Dit is een normale hoog\hoog{12345}||test
Dit is een oldstyle hoog\hoog{\os{12345}}||test
enkele accenten: \"{e} \"{\i}
oldstyle os: \os{1234567890 ivx}
kap: \kap{dit is in kap, ivx 123456789}
em plus kap is geen goed idee: {\em\kap{dit is in em kap, ivx 123456789}}
osi heeft wel cijfers, geen letters: \osi{123456789}
