\defineconversion is low level english, so it will work. 

concerning the fonts, try: 

\definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [tnrexp]

No, often all languages are the same (well, sometimes dutch is a bit
ahead). Anyway, the lastest greatest is run here. Also, some latest tricks
are often present but not yet documented, others are local to us for the

column trickeries and some special footnote tricks that taco needs) but
will be available as soon as stable.
