Thanks, I got it. Two next steps are required and one turned out as
redundant.

1) Create a sample LFG file
2) Place it into the folder where other LFG files are stored
3) NEW! Execute 'mtxrun --generate' command to include newly added LFG file
into a file database
4) NEW! Specify a new font feature referencing to this goodie:
\definefontfeature[dotlessi][mode=base,goodies=pala,unicoding=yes]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Palatino
Linotype][features={default,quality,dotlessi}]
5) Trigger the generating

It does something, but not what I need :-)

My MWE:
\definefontfeature[dotlessi][mode=base,goodies=pala,unicoding=yes]
\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino
Linotype][features={default,quality,dotlessi}]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext
Athenians \sc{Athenians}
\stoptext

This LFG core settings:
unicodes = {
   ["a.sc"] = 97,     (1)
   ["b.sc"] = 983261, (2) 
},

(1) replaces all small 'a' into small caps variants - just for testing
purposes
(2) doesn't replace small caps 'i' to small caps 'b', but when small caps
text is selected, b is copied into the clipboard - so some replacement is
performed, but incomplete.

Maybe other tables need to be tweaked as well...
Has anybody any experience with this?

Thanks, Jan
