Eeeeem. This used to be the case in early days of XeTeX.

At the moment it is true that ConTeXt has no OpenType Math implemented
for XeTeX, but this means that math should work equally well as in
pdfTeX. XeTeX also has bugs in OpenType Math, but for the reason just
told, this should not affect you.

On the other hand if you need other MKIV features that might indeed be
a problem.
