    Subject: Re: Expert opinion on <context-group> uniqueness


    Sorry Yves, I have not used context-group so far.
    Are you thinking of someone else in the group?
    
    I have been looking at the spec and I think there is an ambiguity in the
    definition.
    
    According to the spec, each context group must be uniquely named in the
    file.
    
    It then describes how a default context group can be defined at a high level
    in the hierarchy which is implicitly inherited at all child levels, but does
    not explain how the overrides behave
    
    For individual sub elements , default group can be overridden at lower
    levels.
    
    But for this to work, the override group MUST have the same name as the
    default group, or how will the parser realise that the groups are identical?
    
    Therefore,
    1) Multiple context groups with the same name MAY exist but only in
    different levels of the hierarchy
    2) Defaults and overrides MUST have the same name - matching context names
    are used to define parent child relationships
    
    At least that's what I think.
    
    I have not CCed Asgeir, as others in the group may not agree with this
    definition.
    
    If consensus in the group, please forward to Asgeir.
    
    If there is a real ambiguity, do we simply need an explicit example of using
    default /override, or do we need to modify the spec again?
