no os numbers in lucida?

I am fairly sure the Lucida font has oldstyle numbers. But I don't get them with the \os macro. Here two minimal examples. The one with lmodern does the oldstyle numbers, the one with lucida not. I would be obliged for a solution.

Hans van der Meer

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setupbodyfont[lucida] % the other example has [lmodern]
\starttext
\type{\setupbodyfont[lucida]}\crlf
numbers {\rm 1234567890} in rm\crlf
numbers {\os 1234567890} in os\par
\stoptext

Currently Lucida in MKIV is a virtual fonts that is composed out of
existing pieces from 256-character Type1 fonts.

Your code works in MKII, but in MKIV one would need a tiny bit of
trickery to enable an additional OpenType feature in a virtual font.

I know what is wrong, but I have no idea how to fix it. I assume that
one has to create
    fonts/fea/context/lucida.fea
and implement the old stlyle numberal font feature there + make sure
that glyphs from the right pfb files are added to the virual font, to
some slots in private area. Including proper renaming.

(The only alternative is to wait for OpenType variant of Lucida.)

indeed, it makes no sense to waste time on type 1 lucida's in mkiv
