I am having a similar problem in xslt 1.0 (MSXML).

We have a supplier ftp'ing some XML data but sometimes it doesnt
arrive and sometimes its invalid XML :(

Ive tried

<xsl:if test="msxsl:node-set(document('..\weather\weather.xml'))">
and
<xsl:if test="document('..\weather\weather.xml')">

but both throw errors and the template stops.

Is there any way I can test the validity of the document to be
imported and handle it gracefully?

Cheers
