RE: XPath context of p:wrap-sequence/@group-adjacent

Romain,

I believa that both Calabash and Calumet behave correctly. The
group-adjacent XPath expression (after its value is constructed by the
XProc processor) is passed to and evaluated by the XProc *step*. If you
look at section 2.6.1.2, where the "step XPath context" is discussed,
you will see that no variable bindings are defined in the step context
(unless otherwise specified by specific steps - see for instance
p:label-elements).

See section 2.6 in the specification for a brief discussion of the
difference between the processor XPath context and the step XPath
context.

Regards,
Vojtech
