I'm sorry, I was first confused by this example:

\switchtobodyfont[10pt]\setupinterlinespace\page
\input tufte
\switchtobodyfont[10dd]\setupinterlinespace\page
\input tufte
% interlinespace remained the same for both pt and dd

which (for whatever reason) lead to different result as in the expected:

\switchtobodyfont[10pt]\setupinterlinespace\page
\input tufte

\switchtobodyfont[10dd]\setupinterlinespace\page
\input tufte


And then, yes, I accidentally mixed the two points up.
I'm sorry. Someone wanted to convince me that it is not possible to
use didot points in ConTeXt and I was a bit confused when I was
testing it.

Hans, thank you for the (probably very important) remark about the
font sizes (\chardef\fontdigits=1). Can it be that exactly this
rounding to one decimal point screwed up font handling in proper didot
point sizes?

Don't ask me why, but apparently these minimalistic differences are
pretty important in publishing.
