RE: non-existing file in document() function

There was a substantial thread on this topic last week: see the archives.

It's implementation-defined whether the processor terminates on this error
or recovers from it. With Java processors, you get the ability to control
the action by writing your own URIResolver. With MSXML, as far as I'm aware,
you don't.
