You just missed this discussion by a few days ;) ... the behaviour
of document() on missing docs is undefined, so it varies from
vendor to vendor.

If Java is an option, one reliable solution is to use the extension
mechanism to define a namespace for the java.io.File class:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
    xmlns:fs="java.io.File" >

and then use

<xsl:when test="fs:canRead(fs:new($filename))">
