You misunderstand how named styles work. When you have style key (can be style, textstyle etc.)
for a command you can write “style=\bf” and use the font switch as argument. Another way to set
the font is to use a name, e.g. “style=bold”. The argument in this case is a identifier which is defined as
\definealternativestyle [\v!bold] [\bf] []
As you can see “bold” is only a synonym for \bf (with the third argument you can specify what should
happen when a command when the identifier is used in a heading, see below for a example.
\definehead[HeadA][section][style=bold]
\definehead[HeadB][section][style=italic]
\starttext
\HeadA{normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal}
normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal
\HeadB{normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal}
normal \style[style=italic]{italic} normal \style[style=bold]{bold} normal \style[style=\it]{it} normal \style[style=\bf]{bf} normal
\stoptext
Having a list as argument for the style key is interesting and you have my vote for this but it would
be more complex and slower than the current mechanism.
