TikZ does the following:

That was just copy-pasted from TikZ source (I have not been asking that; my diagnosis/question/suggestion was about \let\pgfutil@font@normalfont=\rm and \let\pgfutil@selectfont=\rm that should probably be changed to \tf) but since you have answered ...
I think that it was desired to use something even smaller. In LaTeX there is:
\tiny 5 \scriptsize 7 \footnotesize 8 \small 9 \normalsize 10
so one can choose 4 smaller sizes. In ConTeXt there is apparently (I never had to use so tiny sizes, so I never checked the details):
\definebodyfontenvironment [10pt] [\s!text=10pt,\s!script=7pt,\s!scriptscript=5pt, \c!x=8pt,\c!xx=6pt,\c!big=12pt,\c!small=8pt]
I suspect that the author wanted to have something even smaller than \tfxx (or better: 4 smaller sizes instead of just the current two), most probably that would be scriptscript, just that it needs a special treatment. (\switchtobodyfont[scriptscript] works to get 5pt in 10pt regime, but I'm not sure about the most efficient way.)
i don't know either ... personally i'd use a model that is tight to graphic dimensions (as baseline alignments are also an issue) anyway, the latex and context font models are too different to bother too much about mapping Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
