 Important points so far:
-# Domain of API must be all browser pages, not just a single node or page.
+# The domain of browser extensions is not a single page but the set of all the user's pages.  The API should reflect that.
-# Consumers must specify a context.  They can game the system by specifying a universal context, but being forced to specify a context nudges them to not abuse the <em>context</em> menu and consider alternative UI if their context is truly universal.
+# The context menu is for context-related UI.  API consumers must specify a context.  They can game the system by specifying a universal context, but being forced to specify a context nudges them to not abuse the <em>context</em> menu and consider alternative UI if their context is truly universal.
 # Contexts can be specified in different ways: selectors, functions, nodes?, ...
 # Declarative context specifications are better.
