Yes it does. In the final spec a programmer could programmatically enable the request context and ends it again IF he needs it. But today he cannot. And many users code really needs it. So the only thing we can do TODAY is to enable it by default.<br>

Well that is an option but the users then cannot rely on it.<br>
<br>
<br>
And no, it is perfectly implementable as it is worded right now.<br>
