| * The type of the context is implementation-dependent. If the value is |

| * If the expression contains a variable reference, its value will be found through the {@link XPathVariableResolver}. |
| * An {@link XPathExpressionException} is raised if the variable resolver is undefined or |
| * the resolver returns {@code null} for the variable. |
| * The value of a variable must be immutable through the course of any single evaluation. |

| * the function resolver returns {@code null} for the function. |

| * This result of evaluating an expression is converted to an instance of the desired return type. |
