Hello Hans,
Would it be possible to add high-level support (\externalfigure) for
inclusion of external figures in XeTeX? (I didn't know that it worked

been my fault.)
There are two commands:
\XeTeXpdffile filename optional
.
Would it name sense to provide a \namedglyph macro in ConTeXt for
XeTeX users as well? (Hopefully the feature will be available in
pdfTeX as well ;)
I don't mind if LaTeX ConTeXt use the same syntax every now and then ;)

\namedglyph is too generic; you ask for a \fontglyph\font{name} and even then,
there probably is not sucha primitive
method, only. That assumption isn't valid with XeTeX on Mac
(fast heading to being a minority ;) -- there's the ATSUI font loading
