that is not official :)

ok, here are my .02 EUR.

1: \CONTEXT

2: {\sc C\kern -.0667emo\kern -.0667emn\kern -.0549emt\kern -.1667em\lower .5ex\hbox {e}\kern -.125emx\kern -.0549emt}

3: Con\TeX t

4: {\sc Con\TeX{}t}

5: {\sc Con\TeX t}

6: {\sc Cont\kern -.1667em\lower .5ex\hbox {e}\kern -.125emxt}

1) original. The letters are already a bit kerned. Since the TEX is
   close together, it does look ok as a single word, but not so much
   in running text. 

2) my definition of a sc-variant (if I had to make one). It is (like
   1) kerned, but I think that this is necessary. But not really nice,
   either. But imo the letters cannot be spaced more, because the TEX
   would be too emphasised.

3) Let us not talk about this one...

4), 5) the T at the end is too far away it falls off. An alternative:
{\sc C\kern -.0667emo\kern -.0667emn\kern -.0549emT\kern -.1667em\lower .5ex\hbox {E}\kern -.125emX\kern -.0855emt}

6) also kind of ok, but it just does not look right.

They all apply to cmr (cmcsc) 10 scaled at 12 pt.
