If we're still talking about an electronic GTD inbox then I can see how this would work. In my GTD database the NA's are listed sorted by context and anything that doesn't have a context appears at the top (and looks all naked and demanding attention too). This has happened a few times when I hurridly put an NA in, and in my haste forgot to add a context. Next time I looked at the NA list the incomplete item was immediately seen and dealt with.

This is my own custom designed database thingy, but I presume that any electronic next action list would be sorted by context.
