i mean that i'm used to (in z2)
"here" = the current context in a page template
"context" = the current context in a script
"container" = the container of the script or template

so are you saying this: "context" would be used in views to refer 
to the thing being viewed, and "container" in content
to refer to the context of the content (since we generally
view content "in place")?  sounds ok to me.

as a matter of convention, or policy?
sorry if i'm being dense - i haven't done much with z3 yet and
still not sure I grok how the death of implicit acquisition changes
things, or if that's relevant to what you're talking about.
