There is an assertion element which does not appear to be used in either context or cf.  The AssertionType is used.

StatusEnumerationType is the enumerated values corresponding to the StatusType (a QName).  The reason for having these separate is that there is no easy way in XSD to extend an enumerated value, it is either by convention, by element subsititution or by introducing schema instance information to indicate another type.  There should have been a placeholder for this in cf as well but I have just noticed that it is called StatusType and not StatusEnumerationType. :-(

Mark mentioned that the status values were going to be moved out of context into the referencing specs.  If this is the case then the actions are probably
 - remove assertion element
 - remove StatusEnumerationType from context
 - remove StatusType (incorrectly named in any case) from cf.

I think these actions are all for me :-)
