It's actually an error to refer to a document that is not there.
Your XSLT system may just give up at that point and stop.
If so there is nothing you can do from within the stylesheet.

However the XSLT spec does say what the processor must do if it does not
die at that point: it has to return an empty node set, in which case

<xsl:when test="$Descriptions">
<xsl:when test="count($Descriptions)>0">

both of those should work and be true if the document is there and false
otherwise.

$Descriptions will either be an empty node set or a set consisting of
a single / node, depending on whether the document is there or not.
