well, it's originally meant for local usage (and then it comes after a 
bodyfont switch)

what to think of the following 'feature':

\unprotect

\let\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty

\def\setuprelativeinterlinespace[#1]%
  {\processallactionsinset
     [#1]
     [      \v!on=>\oninterlineskip,
           \v!off=>\offinterlineskip,
         \v!reset=>\let\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty
                   \let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\relax
                   \setfontparameters,
          
\v!auto=>\let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\dosynchronizerelativeinterlinespace,
       
\s!unknown=>\assignvalue\commalistelement\currentrelativeinterlinespace{1.00}{1.25}{1.50}%
                   \spacing\currentrelativeinterlinespace]}

\def\dosynchronizerelativeinterlinespace
  {\ifx\currentrelativeinterlinespace\empty\else
     \spacing\currentrelativeinterlinespace
   \fi}

\let\synchronizerelativeinterlinespace\relax

\appendtoks \synchronizerelativeinterlinespace \to \everybodyfont

\protect

so, auto let it adapt to fotn switches:

\setupinterlinespace[auto,big]
\switchtobodyfont[11pt]

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stoptext

this also works:

\setupinterlinespace[1.75]
