[xsl] stability with variables

[Jarkko.Moilanen@xxxxxx]

Hi!

Using the variables inside xslt makes it more stable 
even if there is not well-formed xml. To be more specific,
in this case even if the data.xml is not well-formed.

Concider the following:
<a href="{$opendocument}{following-sibling::AttachID}">

Which uses variable opendocument, this variable 
is imported to the main xslt from commands.xsl.

<xsl:variable name="opendocument">  		
<xsl:value-of select="document('data.xml')/xslt/Open/command"/>
</xsl:variable>

Which reads the final value form external xml file. In Xalan
you dont need to use xalan:evaluate() function. Why? I dont know.
But reality (tested) is that the data.xml file can contain
syntax errors and yet the program does not result internal server error.

Has anyone else faced similar situations?

Cheers,
Jarkko
