Keep up old chap.
But you are correct, context numbers USED to go in rectangles (especially on a matrix).
But the handy convention of using a rectangle to show where the cuts are and an oval for everything else certainly makes matrices instantly more accessable to the eye.
Although when I worked down south for Oxford back in the late 90's it was the fashion there too (from what I remember - much beer may have clouded my mind).
As I was saying, even the POs here (including Jack) haven't read the recording manual (wot I edited) :face-approve:
....you can add as many silly shapes as you like but that ain't the recording system you're contracted to use (which merely has contexts, type unspecified). And you've not explained in your Oxford universe what shape all the other types of context go in (eg. the planar exampel above, structures, groups, unstratified etc etc)
