I'm a little uncomfortable with the names as they currently stand too. Perhaps the 
'context' tag could be renamed 'expose', and then 'focus' could become 'context' - or 
maybe one of 'nested', 'location', 'locate', 'position'? Of those, 'location' is 
probably my favourite option.

Alternatives for 'print' could be 'output', 'render', 'display' - although I don't 
think you can go too far wrong with any of these choices.
