Lining=capital figures, OSF=old-style figures

This is the latest example that doesn't work (though I tried many 
variations that I don't remember):

First, added following to font map file:

\definefontsynonym [SerifFootnote][ehtr18f][encoding=T1,handling=pure]

The preamble code:

\setupbodyfont[HoeflerText,serif]
\setupfootnotes[style={\switchtobodyfont[SerifFootnote]}]
\starttext
Test.\footnote{A footnote.}
\stoptext

So what piece of the puzzle am I missing?
