In many ways, accessing tunnel parameters is "less evil" than accessing global variables, so if functions are allowed to do the latter, they should allowed to do the former. Code that binds the current document to a tunnel parameter is more adaptable and reusable than code that binds it to a global variable. I find myself wondering if we should not allow either and do some sort of per-namespace function context that has to be explicitly defined. (Which is not to say access to tunnel parameters from functions wouldn't be welcome in this corner; it would.) -- Graydon
