In one place the "." slipped into the

This is one advantage of xsl:function over xsl:template - it prevents
inadvertent use of expressions referring to the context node.
Very interesting point you make there, Michael. I always found it a miss
of the specification that functions cannot act on the current node (yet
I did see that it would have some non-trivial complications in terms of
scope and manageability). From this point of view the motivation of that
decision is much clearer.
