It's confusing and problematic when the context of the document is not taken into consideration or when the document is used in more than one context without the proper (isomorphic) transformations to preserve meaning. Furthermore, to add insult to injury, there is no such thing as context independence... Perhaps explicit user perspectives / use cases are needed when doing document modeling.
