And just where does WP:CONTEXT or any other guideline say that?  From my
reading it doesn't.  Exceptions to rules or guidelines can't solely exist in
the lacunae of convention and consensus, they need to be explicitly
written.  Until it's written as a de jure exception to WP:CONTEXT, I'd very
much inclined to disagree with the above statement.

P.S. Is it just me or does Wikipedia need a policy house-cleaning to fix up
these contradictions and ambiguities? ~cdt
