Thanks.

For those who are curious as to how I became confused about the 
uppercase-lowercase for smallcaps: look at session "803 Typography and Fonts" 
in Apple's WWDC2016 conference, just after 23 minutes and you will understand.

I do not understand the behaviour of the \sc macro. I thought smallcaps would 
turn out to be smaller than capitals. But I see no difference between them 
except a subtle difference in letterspacing. Am I doing something wrong here?

Minimal example and output:

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lmodern]
lmodern: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
cambria: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\LuaTeX-version=0.\the\luatexversion\crlf
\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\crlf
\stoptext
Smallcaps changes only the layout of lowercase letters but some fonts let you 
also change uppercase letters.

In the example below you can see how you can change uppercase and lowercase 
letter with the smcp and c2sc features.

\definefontfeature[f:smcp][smcp=yes]
\definefontfeature[f:c2sc][c2sc=yes]

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

An easy and breezy Sunday morning.

{\feature[+][f:smcp]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}

{\feature[+][f:c2sc]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}

{\feature[+][f:c2sc,f:smcp]An easy and breezy Sunday morning.}

\stoptext
