\WORD used to handle "ß" correctly, i.e. convert it to "SS"; now it
makes "sS".
(If the current font contains an uppercase ß that would be even
better, but those are rare).
I can’t tell when it changed (some LMTX versions ago) and can’t check
MkIV, since "mtxrun --generate --luatex" doesn’t work.
Hans sent me a fix, I guess it will be included in the next upload.
And yes, uppercase ß (ẞ, U1E9E) would be even better, even according
to the official German orthography rules since 2017, but there are
still not many fonts that have it.

Cool, thank you!
It would have been kind of a wonder if ConTeXt wouldn’t already contain
something like that... ;)

if needed we could catch that with a fallback feature (could cover more
such cases)
