This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In 16.3.2. fn:transform, last para under Rules, the text reads: "It is ·implementation-defined· whether the XSLT transformation is executed within the same [TERMDEF IN XP31]execution scope as the calling code." In other words: the TERMDEF is broken somehow.
Fixed.
