Context does not "test" and silently ignores errors, unless they are
syntactically incorrect. So unknown keywords and key=value keys are
ignored. When one tries to use an "instance" that was not declared, or
incorrectly declared, than this usually leads to no effect.

Wolfgang made a HUGE effort in combing through ALL of the sources to
create the "interface" xml files. He (and others) also work to keep
them up to date as the sources evolve.

Perhaps before throwing out complaints about the documentation, we
(users) should always submit a complete MWE (but it should not contain
any unnecessary extra). Quite often, the error is a mixture of keywords
with key=value pairs, other times it is an incorrect or misspelled 
keyword or key, and sometimes it is a real bug or else a missing (and
useful) new feature.
