Re: Associating context with an annotation

Perhaps some of the confusion and scope creep comes from the ambiguity of
"context" ?
Could we think of a better term that's more explicit about the issue that
we're trying to solve?

For example:

embeddedIn
containedIn
hasContainer
usedIn
hasScope    (my preferred so far)
