I have found (in my very short time with ansible, but informed by years of 
creating 
templates in chef) that all the context I need is already abstracted in the 
playbook, 
so creating the configuration directly in the play (with substitution) and 
passing the  
final config to the role yields the most flexibility. By that I mean the 
role did not have 
decide up front what bits the config I might and and might want to 
parameterize. Also, 
some configs are soooo big, with so much optional stuff it seems best to 
leave declaring 
the config to the playbook.
