It would be quite easy to define it as "the node that is the context node for the XPath expression as a whole, outside any predicates". I assume no-one thought that would be useful enough to justify it. It would be interesting to know whether free-standing XPath implementations actually provide this function or not. As far as I can see neither Microsoft's nor Xalan's free-standing XPath processors give you any (documented) way of defining variables, which ARE part of the XPath spec.
