The main problem here is that we are dealing with APIs that are very
hard to modify a inch for retro compatibility reasons. So unless there
is a direct security risk I would say that all we can do is document
it.
Now for what the hell do we have two concepts, the way I understand
those two is the following: they are not operating exactly at the same
level.
* "view" level: the current document is pretty much totally unknown
outside of client/scripting area ("point of view" document,
programming right, etc.)
* model level: context wiki (that is actually called model context
reference and not just wiki in the model module API but is still the
XWikiContext wiki behind the scene because it's not that easy to
change and will probably be one of the last things we get rid of
before definitely loose oldcore) is the reference point when
navigating between model entities
Lets call it a desperate attempt to something that has not really been
designed some meaning and stick to it to not get crazy when playing
with it :)
