It’s a leftover from mkii where you had [name] and [texnansi,ec,...], the first 
was to map from “Serif” etc. to the symbolic name (e.g. PalatinoItalic) and the 
other to map the symbolic name to the font file.

This was always the case, even in mkii.

Instead of giving a scale factor (e.g. factor=1.1) you can say auto and context 
use the font information to scale the sans font to the same size as the serif 
font.
