http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3579

           Summary: externalcontextitem-22 et seq
           Product: XML Query Test Suite
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML Query Test Suite

Tests externalcontextitem-22, -23, and -24 seem to be essentially identical
except for trivial variations (different source documents, some use a leading
"./" in the path expression. Yet:

externalcontextitem-22 expects success
externalcontextitem-23 expects failure
externalcontextitem-24 expects success (except that the comment in the test
says it expects failure).

Whether or not these tests fail with "context item undefined" depends
essentially on the test driver, so it would be useful to have clarification as
to whether (and under what circumstances) the test driver is expected to set up
an initial context item.

Also, the descriptions of these tests bear little relation to the content, e.g.
incorrect references to the max() function.
