The concept of the context is not clear.

      Agreed that mixing context declarations within a library can be confusing, but rather than being prescriptive about usage, suggest the following:

      Best practice is for each library to have expressions in only one context, and for that context declaration to be the first declaration in the library.

      From the given sentense I see that every declaration belongs to a context. I understand that it may seem umbiguous to have the context as a part of each declaration and thus it was decided to declare it separately, but for large specifications this will significantly reduce the readability.

      So I would suggest making the context an explicit part of each declaration.

      Existing Wording:

      Because context is associated with each declaration, it is possible for expressions defined in a particular context to reference expressions defined in the Unfiltered context and vice versa.
