This might get an award for longest thread before The Edict is handed

I think the notion of traversal is useful here. I don't think we need to 
double up on a character for the sake of symetry with @@, based on your 
point. But I prefer

   context/#dc/title

to

   context#dc/title

The former suggests a special type of attribute lookup, which I think is 
a more natural way to extend the existing syntax.
