If it's automatically provided in the context menu but nowhere else, 
then what we want devs to do is provide it in the _main menu_ as well, 
right?
Therefore I'd suggest writing
"Add functions which are implicitly provided in a context menu by 
certain components (for example "cut/copy/paste" for text areas) to the 
main menu as well" below "* Do not use context menus as the only way to 
start a function. Always have a redundant access."
I know this is pretty verbose again and maybe it can be shortened a bit, 
but for me that's the essence of what I understood from your explanation.
We don't have to tell devs to provide something in a context menu which 
is already there by default, but we have to tell them to add a redundant 
way of accessing it.

Cheers,
Thomas
