Resolves #434
Adds advice to the spec and documentation about how to broadcast complex context types, where other apps on the channel may wish to/are set up to process simpler types that are the fields of your context type. The consensus from #452 was to broadcast each type you want others to respond to separately.
E.g. when broadcasting an
fdc3.position
, which has anfdc3.instrument
field, broadcast instrument and then position.
