Ah, ok. If you aren't going to export the stream to an external file or similar, you will probably not need the context id: The listener that receives a given event will probably be associated to a context (just like translator groups), and if the listener knows which context it's associated to, it doesn't need to read that information from the event. However, using a context id may still be useful for debugging, and it's probably a good excercise to write a layer that adds context ids to all events.
