In X-Hive it's impossible to have an XQuery that does not have a  
context node. You always create an XQuery on a DOM Node, or on a  
Library/Document node, and so all queries have an initial context  
node. This means that a query in XQTS like simply "root()" (which is  
supposed to fail as it doesn't have a context node) will always  
succeed in X-Hive. So the XQTS test cases that expect a failure there  
are not reproducible in X-Hive/DB.
