[Bug 23488] context item in module

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23488

--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
Personal response/analysis:

I believe the situation is as follows:

(a) Neither XQuery 1.0 nor XQuery 3.0 requires a processor to provide a
mechanism to set the initial context item either for a main module or for a
library module.

(b) XQuery 3.0 requires the initial context item for all modules to be the
same; XQuery 1.0 does not.

(c) The test suite documentation says that role="." sets the initial context
item; it should perhaps say more clearly that it does so for all modules.

(d) The test suite documentation says that an implementation that does not
provide the ability to inialize any part of the dynamic context as requested by
the test metadata should not run the test, and should report a result of
"notRun".

So I don't believe this test is dependent on XQ 3.0. It *is* dependent on the
ability to set the context item for library modules, but the documentation
makes it clear how the test driver should behave in the case of an
implementation that is not able to do that.
