p:choose/p:xpath-context question

Hi,

Consider this example of p:choose:

...
<p:identity name="identity"/>
<p:choose>
  <p:xpath-context>
    <p:document href="foo.xml"/>
  </p:xpath-context>
  <p:when test="...">
    <p:xpath-context/>
    ...
  </p:when>
</p:choose>
...

My question is: what will be the XPath context for the p:when? Will it
be "foo.xml", or the result of the "identity" step?

The spec says that: "When [p:xpath-context] appears in a p:when, it
specifies the context for that p:when's test attribute. When it appears
in p:choose, it specifies the default context for all of the p:when
elements in that p:choose."

In the example above, p:xpath-context *appears* in p:when, but *has no
binding*. In our current implementation, this will result in a binding
to the current default readable port (result of "identity" in this
case). Is this the correct/expected behavior?
