Something like trapping or catching excpetions. This would have
some other interesting applications, in particular regarding
document() and xsl:document. I don't think we'll get try/catch
or "on error" in XSLT. For once I'm not sure how try/catch would
be applied to parsing and validation errors, and "on error" is
just not as compatible with a language using XML syntax as
try/catch would be.
