the "context" checking as you call it is the gem of Spindle. Without that there would be no error markers, no syntax completion in attribute values, no jumping between spec/template/class, no hover boxes, no as-you-type validation, no wizards, no template ->spec refactoring, in fact there would be nothing at all except a pretty xml editor (and a mediocre one at that IMO).
