Well OK, but wouldn't it better to make it more explicit where context and  
model are allowed, rather than allowing them everywhere?

At present

<model model="m">
    <instance model="j" context="..">
      <data/>
    <instance>
</model>

<send context=".."/>

and many other meaningless things are allowed syntactically, and so not  
checkable with validating parsers.

I would prefer for @model and @context to be in Binding, because they  
really are allowed anywhere a binding is allowed, and then specifically  
mention other non-binding places where they are allowed.
