In this example there is no kerning and no ligatures in the math:

WAiff $\mfunction{WAiff}$
\stoptext
This is a different behaviour than with legacy math fonts.
depends what legacy is ...
A question about this has been asked some month ago on tex.sx
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/252493/ligatures-are-not-used-in-opentype-maths-families).
The problem (or feature) exist also with xetex.
With luatex one can avoid to loose the kerning by loading as math
roman font a font in mode base
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/277362/lualatex-no-kerning-within-operatorname-when-not-loading-lmodern-package/277395#277395,
I have no idea how to do this in context).
Is this a luatex/xetex bug? Or a feature? How could one enable
kerning and/or ligatures without going back to base mode?
most math fonts don't have ligatures etc ... in fact, as ligatures are a
language/script related feature and math is the script it makes not much
sense either
in context you can do:
\setupmathematics
[functionstyle=normal]
which will use a box which then will trigger text fonts
