Description Michael Kay 2017-04-18 09:26:44 UTC 
Section 9.1 states the rule:

The visibility attribute must not be specified for a local variable

and follows this with the clarification: 

that is, it is allowed only when the parent element is xsl:stylesheet, xsl:transform, or xsl:override.

The clarification is not quite accurate. It should say:

that is, it is allowed only when the parent element is xsl:package, xsl:stylesheet, xsl:transform, or xsl:override.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2017-05-04 17:51:24 UTC 
The WG agreed the change and it has been applied to the spec.
