/DynamicText/ yes, but that is a different grob from TextScript, and 
semantically different.
Personally, I fancy having a dedicated semantic level for something like 
‘expressive mark’ (Ausdrucksbezeichnung), i.e. /dolce/ and /legato/ &c. 
So I defined an \ausdruck command (the German word was just the most 
concise version I could think of), which internally uses a markup 
command \expressive-mark, which currently does nothing but choose italic 
font-shape.
But this is rather marginally related and nevertheless I agree that a 
Dynamics context shouldn’t make TextScript italic by default.

Yours, Simon
