 "My own proposal was for special XSLT error templates that could "match" or trigger on error conditions, assuming a very simple XML vocab for XSLT error communication in the first place." Oooohhhh.... I totally love that idea!!! Basically like built-in templates that exist in the 1.0 definition... basic output and easily overidable if desired as such. Dimitre, can you think of a way to do this with FXSL, especially with XSLT 2.0 and everything being a sequence of nodes it seems that a certain condition could easily insert, for example, <error id="123"/> into the output and further apply-templates to all error elements before finishing each process contained within a template?
