           Summary: [xslt30ts] merge-051 and merge-082 use position() in
                    xsl:merge-key
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Proposed Recommendation

  Target Milestone: ---

Tests merge-051 and merge-082 use <xsl:merge-key select="position()"/>
expecting the merge keys to be a monotonic sequence of integers 1..N.

However, we state in ยง15.5 that a merge key is evaluated with a singleton
focus, so the value of position() will always be 1.

Unfortunately this invalidates what the tests are trying to achieve, which is
simple pairwise merging of two input sequences.

The functionality can be achieved, but less conveniently, using accumulator
values as the grouping keys.
