I believe what you are saying here is that a basic understanding
should be adequate

As a 'translator' I'm not supposed to know about this
otherwise if people are required to have insights about applications
and frameworks
in order to translate, you would hardly find any volunteer translator
to do the job.
Anyway it is good to know and thanks for the info.
You don't have to implement contexts.
It would be fine if trunk/l10n-kde4/templates/messages/www/README
becomes more specific having a line added for each new pot file, something like
edu_www.po : target website : edu.kde.org
(it is mentioned in a msgid, but in my opinion it is not enough).
I think, if the intention is the addition of more files into www,
something similar is a must.
