This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The context item static type in appendix C.1 Static Context Components has a default initial value of "none". In 4.17 Context Item Declaration we say: In every module that does not contain a context item declaration, the effect is as if the declaration declare context item as item() external; appeared in that module. I suggest that we change the default initial value to "item()".
Fixed. Will appear in the next HTML build.
