Quite true.

(b) I am yet to see the Finder contextual menus in *any* other application--be it Carbon or Cocoa.

Just control-click or right-click on a word in TextEdit. That's a contextual menu.


Maybe what's confusing is that each application has the opportunity to add its own items to the contextual menu. These are the items listed at the top of the menu. Then, contextual menu item plugins get the opportunity to add their own items after the app-specific items. So in the Finder's contextual menu, everything down through the "Color Label" item is added by the Finder, and everything after that is added by a contextual menu plugin. In TextEdit's case, it appears that everything in the menu is actually added by TextEdit; the contextual menu plugins are not choosing to add anything else. They could, though, if they saw the right content in the selection.
