Well, it stops processing, so it's actually the XSLT processor that decides that something has happened that does not allow it to continue its work correctly. But then, it returns the half-completed result to the user as if nothing unusual happened. Now, imagine the "user" is not a human being who knows how to read and interpret text messages, but instead is a program that wants to know if the result is the correct and complete result of the transformation, or if it needs to do something special about it. I would like to know how to take exactly this decision in a reasonably efficient way, without a major impact on the error-free success case.
