A context's "new" state may be such that the "connection" is open. It's really just implementation details at that point I think. The CP may even consider a context to be in a new state regardless of whether or not there's already an established (yet not authenticated) connection.

 

I like the idea of prescribing authentication behavior, yet leaving connection behavior to the CP's.
