Actually I think it's really only this document() problem (which is quite bad, I grant) there are very few other places where an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet can not be coded to avoid an error. XSLT2/Xpath drafts have a lot more to say on error handling. For XSLT 1 you can avoid this error as long as you know which XSLT processor (or processors) you are using. If your processor returns an empty node set on a missing document then you can test for that. If not then you can normally write an extension function that tests for the file before you attempt the document() function. (In msxsl you could use javascript for this).
