IIRC, Hans explained some time ago that they are 'semi-automatic':
the actual TWS files are automatically generated from the 'normal'
context files that are used for the various documentation manuals
(the input files that create the syntax description blocks).
It is very unlikely that there will be downward-incompatible changes
to the TWS files, I think. However, there has been some talk about
extending the \startsetup with explanatory comments, so it is likely
that there will be an backward-compatible extension to the tws format
somewhere in the future.
