Not being able to get to PSC meetings, I'd just say that I've always
agreed with this. But I'd add that subsets needn't imply a particular
context - they might but they can be orthogonal to context (depending
on how you view/define context too) - IMHO. So maybe more than just
context should be catered for.

Thanks
