Thank you, this is really nice. Didn’t know \directsetup (i.e. I can’t handle these setups at all).

I also tried to get rid of the bigger space after stops:

\installlanguage[packed][en]
\setuplanguage[packed][spacing=packed]

\startsetups[tightspace]
  \spaceskip 0.7\interwordspace plus .5\interwordstretch minus \interwordshrink
\stopsetups

\definedescription[BibItem][
	before={\directsetup{tightspace}\bgroup\language[packed]},
	after={\egroup},
]
