This is one advantage of xsl:function over xsl:template - it prevents
inadvertent use of expressions referring to the context node.

Very interesting point you make there, Michael. I always found it a miss 
of the specification that functions cannot act on the current node (yet 
I did see that it would have some non-trivial complications in terms of 
scope and manageability). From this point of view the motivation of that 
decision is much clearer.
