My 'obvious' alternative name would be a CQL namespace, after XML
namespaces which look similar and achieve the same end. In an XML oriented
world, 'attribute set' would likely be construed as 'a collection of
xml attribute nodes' which is certainly not what we want to imply.
That said, I prefer 'context' as it still carries the same sort of feel
without getting confused as to what we're talking about when you say
things like 'the srw namespace'.
