It is not a "feature" of every OpenGL ES 1.1 window system binding. I 
put feature in quotes because the feature is supported by the EGL API 
but implementations are not required to support EGL surfaces that can be 
rendered to by multiple contexts. I have not yet worked with enough ES 
2.0 implementations to be able to make the same statement for that but I 
would not be in the least surprised to find similarly limited 
implementations.
