A reader who reads this section in isolation, without first becoming familiar with the sections of the spec concerning packages, may find the current wording misleading. Specifically, the paragraph that reads: A global variable binding element is visible everywhere in the stylesheet (including other stylesheet modules) except within the xsl:variable or xsl:param element itself and any region where it is shadowed by another variable binding. would be clearer if it read: A global variable binding element is visible everywhere in the containing package (including other stylesheet modules) except within the xsl:variable or xsl:param element itself and any region where it is shadowed by another variable binding. (For rules regarding the visibility of the variable in other packages, see 3.5.3.1.) 128575 1 mike 2017-05-04 17:56:14 +0000 The WG agreed the change and it has been applied to the spec.
