Actually in mkii (and also in plain TeX) the positions of the superscripts = in your example are the same, but this is not the case with subscripts: $x_{3}\ x\mathstrut_{3}$ that is in mkii the latter $x\mathstrut_{3}$ gives a lower subscript, while= in plain TeX both subscripts are positioned at an identical depth. I would say the position of subscripts and superscripts in mkiv should be i= dentical with one gets with the latest beta (version 2014.03.20 16:59) in t= he following example \starttext $x\mathstrut_{3}$ and $x\mathstrut^{3}$ \stoptext However as Hans pointed out, regarding maths typesetting in mkiv there are = also some font related issues.
