I've been testing XSLT for years now, and I know that the spec contains numerous assertions that a certain condition is an error. A conformant processor must raise an error when the specs require it. How that error plays out in the operating environment is unspecified, but that doesn't stop us from saying there is a test assertion regarding an error condition and a test stylesheet that demonstrates that an error is raised. .................David Marston
