Would it be possible/desirable to make the default a unique string value like a UUID or a stringified counter?

This is now looking really good and I can understands it.

Great!

One question though. Sometimes creation of a context variable is done with a name argument, other times not. E.g. var1 = newcontextvar('var1') var = newcontextvar()

We were very focused on making the High-level Specification as succinct as possible, omitting some API details that are not important for understanding the semantics.

"name" argument is not optional and will be required. If it's optional, people will not provide it, making it very hard to introspect the context when we want it.

I guess we'll just update the High-level Specification section to use the correct signature of "new_context_var".
