Personally, I see the context as an opaque datastore and dislike the 
idea of doing any search queries on the data. I know that we do this at 
the moment in some places but I would like to see this "searchable 
context data" in a dedicated mapping/index/search - whatever you would 
name it - table. In return, we would not need to index the value portion 
of the context table, as it is never used to search within.

If you use subject alternative names or forced validity, this info is 
recorded here as a 1:n relation.
