Thanks for the explanation, Wolfgang. I am, however, getting some strange interline behaviour exhibited using the \par approach. In the MWE below the quoted text, which have both approaches (\par and explicit \setinterlinespace outside the \framed) listed, you will see with the \par approach that the text is aligned slightly lower than middle (so not properly vertically centred), and the spacing below the first line is larger than the subsequent lines.

: 3. I cannot get interlinespacing to affect the line spacing even though the baselineskip variable is changed as shown in the MWE.
You have to add \par at the end of each paragraph, e.g. \framed{\definedfont[…]\setupinterlinespace …\par}
