Actually, using xsl:element name="{EXPR}" with a bad element name is defined in the spec to be a recoverable error, and the recovery action is exactly as you describe.

Really? What a coincidence...


But it's implementation-dependent whether a product reports
the error or takes the recovery action, and in my view this is one of those errors that really ought to be fatal.

I never took a good look at it, but IMHO I think the idea of letting the implementation decide what to do with xsl errors is rather bizar. It should at least be controllable.


Use conditional logic in your stylesheet, it's a much better solution.
If You say so, I'll have to resign...:)
