[development] behaviors context

[Matt]

No -- the context will refer to whatever is passed into
Drupal.attachBehaviors(). In Drupal core, that will be a DOM Element
or a jQuery object. I know of no guarantee that the jQuery will always
point to one DOM element (though I know of no place in Drupal core
where more than one is passed in).

For contributed modules... I suppose you are at the liberty of the
contrib developers.
