I did half consider this approach but decided against it purely because it
would
involve changing the xsltTransformContext structure, something that will
break people's code if it changes.
If you're OK with this, then I'm happy to make these changes - I'll try and
get it
done this afternoon.

I'll send it along with the other code changes.

As a thought - would it be worth doing a similar thing for the number

(xsl:number) at some stage?
