    <thetext>Section https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#merge-examples has an example with code

  &lt;record ID=&quot;{$merge-key}&quot;&gt;

although that variable is not defined in the example. I suppose the example has not been (completely) corrected since earlier versions of the spec where merge groups and keys were accessible as variables.

In the current spec I think 

  &lt;record ID=&quot;{$merge-key}&quot;&gt;

should be

  &lt;record ID=&quot;{current-merge-key()}&quot;&gt;


And in https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#merge-action there is an example using an undefined variable 
  
  &lt;xsl:copy-of select=&quot;$master&quot;/&gt;

which should be

  &lt;xsl:copy-of select=&quot;current-merge-group(&apos;master&apos;)&quot;/&gt;

to use the proper way to access a merge group by name in line with the current spec.</thetext>

    <thetext>Thanks for pointing these out (and you are quite correct about the history).

I have fixed them.</thetext>
