Root context has been a well-known concept. I did a search on root context (and on root-context). It is not defined. It is mention in Annex S of X.501 (Part 2), an annex added in the fifth edition and in X.519 (Part 5) in the conformance clause.

Any explanation?


Implicit assumption that everyone knew what it was. This now needs to be explicitly stated
