Ok, I'll remove it for now, and if we later decide to put attributes on a context we can re-introduce it.
Thanks,

As for me, context relationships could be considered as good example of such kind of attributes. If I alone with such understanding it would be better to remove this method from IContextModel then to consider it as a convenient way of ask for a list of all attributes.
