Description Abel Braaksma 2015-10-20 11:16:34 UTC 
In section 3.3 we write:

> At evaluation time, if the root node above the context node is not a 
> document node, a dynamic error is raised [err:XPDY0050].

I think we mean to say "if the root node *of* the context node". Since the context node itself can be a document node (or any other root node), the root node is not *above* in that case.

Wow, it's said that since XQuery 1.0!  Fixed now.
