I've deleted the "limited user agent" bullet in section 4.

I've changed section 7 to read as follows:

7. Message-Context Reference Field

The Message-Context reference field is a top-level header inserted by the
sending UA to indicate the context of the message.

A receiving user agent MUST NOT depend on the indicated message-context
value in a way that prevents proper presentation of the message. If the
value is incorrect or does not match the message content, the receiving user
agent MUST still be capable of displaying the message content at least as
meaningfully as it would if no Message-Context value were present.

One can envision situations where a well-formed message ends up not
including a media type one would expect from the message-context. For
example, consider a voice messaging system that records a voice message and
also performs speech-to-text processing on the message. The message then
passes through a content gateway, such as a firewall, that removes
non-critical body parts over a certain length. The receiving user agent
will receive a message in the voice-message context that has only a text
part and no audio. Even though the message does not have audio, it is still
in the voice message context.

Sound OK?
