Hi Nathan,

I don't recall why we have not clarified the evaluation context here - 
all: should we?

The tests at

https://github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/tree/master/its2.0/inputdata/idvalue/xml/

use relative selectors. So you are safe to do the same and assume the 
relative evalutation context.

Best,

Felix
