Well it works with utf8 if you include xtag-utf.tex
($TEXMF/tex/context/base/xtag-utf.tex). That works for instance:
  \input xtag-utf.tex

The problem is that that file doesn't contain all > 50000 characters but
only a few (basically latin1 accented characters)

I think it went over the mailing list (look at the mailarchive).

That would be nice!

See above. The problem is that a nice font would be needed to.

By the way, I'm looking for a nice looking serif font, which I can use as
math font and which contains at least all MES-1, better also the MES-2
characters (http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf)
and the default ligatures used by TeX.
So far I mainly found either WGL4 compatible fonts
(http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/opentype/appendices/wgl4.html) or
fonts which can be used for math in TeX, but not both. (At least not
within a amount of money which I can spend ;-)
