Re[2]: [higgins-dev] IdAS notes

Jim,

Actually, when I worked on those interfaces, my understanding was that
context itself could contains attributes which could be useful when we
need to customize/describe entire context. As for me, context
relationships could be considered as good example of such kind of
attributes.

If I alone with such understanding it would be better to remove this
method from IContextModel then to consider it as a convenient way of
ask for a list of all attributes.
