Reading notes with x's are double-sharps? (I know, double sharps are just the note up a whole step.)

It's just... odd. Just wanted to make sure that that's really what it is.

Some keys require double sharps and flats (bb), to use accidentals. In particular keys with lots of sharps and keys in the key signature.

Minor keys sometimes require adjustment to be played correctly (melodic and harmonic). Without double flats and sharps these adjustments could not be made, especially with keys of many sharps.
