With respect to Toby's questions, I beleive that theory 1 is the most rational approach.
On the larger topic of market contexts I beleive that we are not talking about it properly. The term "Market Context" is overloaded and there is far too much of a tendancy to throw attributes into the Market Context bucket that probably don't belong there.
If you think about it there are two types of information that describe a "context" in general. At one level there is the actual "Market" information that describes the business context within which two parties are interacting. This information might be communicated
and of course we therefore need to have data structures to represent it, but it exists independently of any messages that might communicate it. On another level there is the "Message" context that is the metadata that describes the information in the messages
that are exchanged between two parties. This is not the same thing as the Market Context. Of course the metadata may make references to a market context, but we should not conflate them.
In short a Market Context is something that describes the environment in which two parties are interacting and exists independently of whether the two parties are communicating about it or not. The message context metadata only exists to facilitate the
exchange and interpretation of messages that might contain things like a market context.
