Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s replacement 
with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.

%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]

\setupbodyfont[libertine]

\starttext

Gruß Straße Buße

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\disabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]

\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}

\stoptext
%% end example
