I just got confused by the "initially" in
"Within the body of a stylesheet function, the focus is initially
undefined"
which seemed to imply the possibility of setting the focus/context,
possibly to that of the function call.
Yes, I don't like the "initially" - I've generally tried to avoid words
in the spec that have a temporal connotation.
What it means is that you are allowed to write things like
<xsl:function...
<xsl:variable...
<xsl:for-each select="$param">
and inside the for-each (or inside a predicate in a filter expression)
the context item is well defined.
