Not for me, but perhaps for the majority of users. Reason for me: I want to see the both contexts, the library I am looking at and the books for an author. The context menu allows me to switch to a new context, but does not allow me to see both.

Backwards compatibility.
Not sure this is a real issue in this case. The authors table had the unused third column for ages, used only in the mid 0.7 releases. Adding more columns shouldn't be a problem. Certainly won't be in DB2.

You are right. This could be easily handled by writing the info to a file when the OPF is written, or even by writing it to the OPF. However, it is yet another thing that must be done.
