Like xsl:key, accumulators apply to every document, but when you evaluate the accumulator function, you get the value applicable to the context node. In all your calls of the accumulator function, the context node is the root of the principal source document. Accumulators are strictly functional: the value is a function of the context node. If you call the function twice and the context node is the same for both calls, you will get the same answer.
