No, this if for context menus, like the kind you get in Windows when
you right-click on something. Actually, it doesn't have to display a
menu. It could be anything the author wants. It's simply using the
context menu access method.

You don't say? Maybe I got it from that guy that came up with that
"XUL Basic" idea.

For tooltips, that makes sense, but not for context menus, unless
you want to limit the context attribute to displaying markup
specifically designed for displaying menus. As for menu elements, that
needs to be addressed in a separate thread...
