So, if I want to detect and handle specially the case where an
optional option has not been specificed, how can I do so?

Using p:try seems awfully heavyweight.

In XSLT, I can distinguish between the empty string and the empty node
set, so we see the common idiom

 <xsl:param name="foo" select="xyzzy"/>

But since XProc options are always string-valued, there's no obvious
default which can be reliably distinguished from a supplied value.
