Is there a simple way to define a document style that uses larger \baselineskip-s? We need to make a sort of student guide and don't want the lines so tight together as the usual doctypes do (say a 10pt font with a 14pt baseline) I haven't tried it yet, but including \baselineskip 14pt in a DESIGN file sounds too simple to be true...

You can override the default baselineskip in the DESIGN file
for most of the fonts. It looks to me like you just want to adjust
the leading for the body text.
\def\normaltextfontspecs{\tenpoint\baselineskip=14pt}% 10pt serif
or
\def\normaltextfontspecs{\tenpointss\baselineskip=14pt}% 10pt sans
You can use this process to adjust other font/lead settings
in the design file as well. If no setting appears in the design
file, then the font spec will generally take the default as
set by the standard font file.

By browsing through files, I discovered that instead of the \baselineskip
also \setbaselineskip{14pt} works.
There is also a \baselineskipss that I haven't figured out yet. It
doesn't mean baselineskip-s for the sans serifs does it?

\setbaselineskip{npt} is functionally equivalent to plain's
\baselineskip=npt. You may use either command in the DESIGN
file; the difference is internal, and related to how the
LINE/TERM/MAIL destination handles leading variations with
fixed lineskip amounts.
Where is \baselineskipss? Looks like a gremlin-track to me.
