Absolutely.  Ambiguity rarely helps.  In this case a recognized 
problem with a published solution.  "Proposal for Modules Contexts",  
authored by Felix Friedrich and Florian Negele, section "2.3 Naming 
Conventions" suggests the fully qualified name A2.Texts.Text or 
Oberon.Texts.Text (or Something.Texts.Text?).  The ambiguity can be 
resolved by applying the context idea beyond the "A2" and "Oberon" 
contexts.

Where is that prohibition?  Felix or Florian might object, for a 
personal reason, to use of context outside of A2 and Oberon.  I haven't 
found a prohibiton in print.  Felix, Florian, your comments welcome.  

Context appears to be an solution for the ambiguity described by 
Wojciech.  Is there an intrinsic logical argument against use outside 
Active Oberon?  

Thanks,                          ... Lyall E.
