The current clever scheme causes more problems & longer load times than it brings advantages, but unless Hans changes core macros, there's not much that you can do about it to speed up the loading time.
I assume Context could add support for an explicit tfm: prefix, that would likely solve most issues. But one could also ask Jonathan to make XeTeX accept a less terse and idiosyncratic font syntax. As it stands you can't feed an arbitrary font name (which may contain spaces) into the non quoted syntax (because then the quoted syntax is actually required for tfm loading also), but by adding the quotes the system fonts are suddenly searched first. This makes it harder than needed to support both old and new font formats at the same time.
