Re: Content Scoping

I can go either way on this.  If enough people are interested in scoping 
then perhaps I can put it in as an option.  The main benefit from 
scoping I believe would be in cases where you have content actions 
produced by two different authors which may not know what the other is 
doing.  In this case it would be nice to have a safety mechanism so that 
  the author of one content action wouldn't mess with the context values 
for the other content.

Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to allow a content-local 
context and have content lookups occur there first and then if the 
object is not found look in the global context?

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
