>From the telcon on May 23, 2013, and based on the remarks on fn:outermost in
this mail in the archive:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2013May/0087.html, it appears
that fn:outermost must have a consuming expression, however,
outermost(.//section/title) is an (or should be an) allowed expression, but is
currently considered free-ranging because of the context of the first argument.

Perhaps for a function like fn:outermost() a specific rule or context is
needed?
