Description Martin Honnen 2017-03-01 14:49:42 UTC 
The text in https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#accumulator-declaration explains how to evaluate the "expression in the select attribute of xsl:accumulator-rule or the contained sequence constructor" by saying " is evaluated with a static context that follows the normal rules for expressions in stylesheets, except that: " followed by a list with three bullet points, but somehow the middle list item is empty. I am not sure whether there is text missing for the middle item or somehow an empty, superfluous item was introduced in the text.

Thanks for pointing this out. Now fixed. If you're interested, it was caused by the markup

  <item>
    <p diff="del" at="O">No function declared by any
       <elcode>xsl:accumulator</elcode> declaration, including this one, is
       available.</p>
  </item>

where the content of the list item was marked as deleted but the item itself was not.

Recognizing the markup pattern, a quick XPath query found similar examples in 3.5.3.3, 18.2.4, and 19.4 which I have also corrected.
