Re: Examples of @context attribute

This @context attribute is one of the (very few) features of the TEI ODD 
specification language which has not yet been implemented in the TEI 
stylesheet library. During the last year or so, considerable effort has 
been going into implementing a version of the language which is "pure", 
i.e. without any dependencies on other schema languages, and this 
particular requirement has dropped down the priority list. As you note, 
the capability already exists  of adding schematron constraints into 
your specification to achieve the same goal; indeed, that is probably 
how we'd implement it in the general case as well. I've raised a ticket 
(https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1536) so that the issue does not 
disappear from the radar, but it's not going to make it into the next 
release, due in a month or so! Please feel free to comment further on 
the ticket: for example, some discussion of your intended usage would be 
very helpful.
