is there a solution for ssharp with XeTeX and LuaTeX, I have a word with a ß in it which I convert into uppercase letters and the ß remains a lowercase characters. The problem is that there is no uccode for ß (U+00DF) in char-def.lua and that Mark IV has no way of taking care of this for the moment. But there should be, of course.

I was indeed hoping for a little bit Lua magic to have a working solution but in this case I prefer something that could be used as argument for the style key in \doattributes.

that would become rather messy

you can define a style yourself and hook in the attribute

or do something

\setupcommand[style={\setcharactercasing[1]\it}]

I will try this but don't care too much about this, the style option is only for the americans to have the subject for a letter in capitals. Wolfgang
