It uses only an improved form of the visitor pattern and traversal
strategies. Of course, visitors can be viewed as one kind of 
context object.

You are right that the context relation from Linda Seiter's thesis
would allow to add easily run-time adaptiveness to the code.
But we have not implemented this yet; hoping someone else will do it.
