Sorry if this question reaches you twice, but the first time I used an
email address not registered with this newsgroup.
The short example below typeset with
\usemodule[mathml]
\starttext
\typebuffer
\blank
\processxmlbuffer
\stoptext
and "ConTeXt  ver: 2014.04.04 00:08 MKIV beta" shows that the <mtext>
element does not honour the tags within. This severely restricts the
presentation.
...
So what makes you think these tags should be recognized and
interpreted as being 'bold'?
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML
Presentation MathML
....
Note however that these token elements may be used as extension points,
allowing markup in host languages. MathML in HTML5
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5 allows most inline HTML markup in
mtext, and
* |<mtext><b>non</b> zero</mtext>|
is conforming, with the HTML markup being used within the MathML to mark
up the embedded text (making the first word bold in this example).
sure, but who says we're in html5 when we see mathml an dif not, who 
says that <b> reflects bold then so it can never be default
