| The "static context made available to steps" is only made available

So you're proposing to change 2.6.3 so that it distinguishes between
steps that take options whose values are XPaths and those that don't?
I don't like that inconsistency, but it might work for XSLT and
XQuery. We'd still be signing on for the limitation I described for
any extension step or step we add in the future though.
I think that's another question that goes in the "we'd need to think
hard about this" bucket.
