I'm using context to mean whatever a human uses to decide what word he 
uses or the meaning he understands for a word, in a given situation. 
Namespaces are rigid limits to where a token has any meaning (Mark could 
define it better) but they seem different to me. However, if we have a 
"loose" approach to (external) naming as described in my last email, I 
guess you could say contexts function like namespaces, at least for the 
human interface(s). Hmmm..
