the x sizes are just for text while the a-d sized are for titles and so

nowadays the a-d sizes could be defined in terms of larger bodyfont 
sizes as font class switching is pretty fast

for smaller sizes you can switch to a smaller bodyfont

\definealternativestyle [bigger]  [\setbigbodyfont  \tf] []
\definealternativestyle [smaller] [\setsmallbodyfont\tf] []

\starttext

{
     1\smaller this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     2\smaller this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     3\smaller this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     4\smaller this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
}

{
     1\bigger this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     2\bigger this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     3\bigger this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
     4\bigger this looks bad \mathematics{x}, too. \the\bodyfontsize\par
}

i'll add the bigger and smaller shortcuts
