In XITS I have stylistic sets (ss01-07) for accessing additional
alphabets not bresent in Unicode, or variants of exising ones.
For example, ss01 maps the script alphabets to an alternate calligraphic
one, so I did:
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\ctxlua{fonts.otf.features.register_base_substitution('ss01')}
\definefontfeature[ss01][mode=base,script=math,ss01=yes]
$\addff{ss01}\cal ABCDEFG$
\stoptext
(I was not expecting \addff to work in math, but anyway).
This works, however, but I don't want to set the feature globally:
\starttext
\ctxlua{fonts.otf.features.register_base_substitution('ss01')}
\definefontfeature[math-text][mode=base,script=math,ss01=yes]
\setupbodyfont[xits]
$\cal ABCDEF$
\stoptext

math currently operates in base mode; what i can do is map it onto some
private range; as the number of math fonts is small it's no big deal to
keep either a list of features that provide this; we'd best cook up such
a list in small committee
also, context does math different than e.g. latex so having the glyphs
in some well defined spot helps macro packages
actually, since there are probably more symbols not in unicode, i think
that we need to define some extensions ourselves in the private use
area.
so, to start with you need some 7 alphabets of 26 chars ? do you think
that there will be more? for instance we can reserve 0xFE700-0xFE8FF
0xFE700 ss01
0xFE720 ss02
0xFE740 ss03
0xFE760 ss04
0xFE780 ss05
0xFE7A0 ss06
0xFE7C0 ss07
or we could even move to a much lower range (taco might know a good
one); it does not matter much as we can define an offset
@aditya & mojca: didn't we have some pending symbols as well? I do use
some slots for some lm left-overs but there might be more.

I'm not a big fan of private use area myself, it just makes things more
unportable. The approach I used is mapping the new characters to the
closest matching existing ones, so calligraphic is mapped to script,
sans serif Greek is mapped to serif and so on. What I want is a way to
use different font for specific parts in the equation, for example a
\mathaltcal or \mathsfbfgreek etc that could have a different feature
than the main math font.

Khaled

You could use stylistic alternate sets, it should be easy to support
those in context (it may even work out of the box).
Best wishes,
Taco

With which feature tag?
Stylistic set (ss01-ss20) already work, but I can only enable it for
formula wide, I just don't know how to define a new font in math mode.

You just have to set them up, then the \mathaltcal macro becomes
something like:
\def\mathaltcal#1{\addff{ss09}#1\subff{ss09}}
