a next mkiv release will provide dynamic features ...
\definefontfeature[chinese][analyze=yes,language=dflt,mode=node,script=hani]
\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Sans][Arial]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[sans][arial]
\definefontsynonym[Arial][file:ARIALUNI]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface[arial][ss][sans][arial][default]
\setupbodyfont[arial,ss]
\starttext
bla bla {\setfontfeature{chinese} MORE BLA} bla bla
{\setfontfeature{oldstyle} 1234} bla bla
\stoptext
so, just one font instance and independent feature switches; this saves
multiple definitions of fonts and is therefore faster and takes less
memory too
