I'm sure Ken won't mind if I add a little color commentary. It may help to keep in mind that the "context node" is an XPath concept, while the "current node" is an XSLT concept.

That's the way the 1.0 specifications described it. In 2.0 both specs speak of the context item, and the current() function, rather inelegantly, is defined as returning "the item that was the context item at the point where the [XPath] expression was invoked from the XSLT stylesheet. "
