Hans,
I see this as a no with respect to changing the behaviour of \small and

normally for soem inline change where one doesn not have side effects
(like interline spacing etc) \itx is okay as smaller \it (\itxx for even
smaller sizes)
Of course you can go on an adventure trip:
test {\it test
\glyphscale \numexpr \glyphscale * 700 / 1000 \relax test
\glyphscale \numexpr \glyphscale * 800 / 1000 \relax test
\glyphxscale \numexpr \glyphxscale * 3500 / 1000 \relax test
\glyphyscale \numexpr \glyphyscale * 3500 / 1000 \relax test
}
test
