I'm sure Ken won't mind if I add a little color commentary. It may
help to keep in mind that the "context node" is an XPath concept,
while the "current node" is an XSLT concept.
That's the way the 1.0 specifications described it. In 2.0 both specs
speak of the context item, and the current() function, rather
inelegantly, is defined as returning "the item that was the context item
at the point where the [XPath] expression was invoked from the XSLT
stylesheet. "
