For what do you reserve the space in the PUA?

page 32 of the document :

As we already mentioned in a previous chapter, in ConTeXt
 we use Unicode internally.
This also means that fonts are organized this way. By default the glyph representation
of a Unicode character sits in the same slot in the glyph table. All additional glyphs, like
ligatures or alternates are pushed in the private unicode space. This is why in the lists
shown in the figures the ligatures have a private Unicode number.
