Great! I believe this has much to do with David's suggestion 
(http://dione.zcu.cz/pipermail/as-list/2002-March/000014.html). I've
been looking for a way to implement this consistently, but I think YOU
have made it! :)

I would only introduce a new optional attribute for <in/output-variable> 
rather than a new element:

<output-variable name="number1" value="1" scope="session"/>
<output-variable name="number2" value="2" scope="request"/>
<input-variable name="number3" value="3" scope="session"/>
<input-variable name="number4" value="4"/>

This would put number1 and number3 into Context AND session, while 
number2 and number 4 into Context only. When retrieving values, AS would 
look first into session and then into Context.
