I finally wrote a few words about the try/catch extension I wrote for Saxon a couple of months ago (see this and this entries). You can find the project page there: http://fgeorges.org/xslt/error-safe/.
I also wrote a first draft of a specification for such an extension. There are some differences between this and the actual implementation for Saxon, but the spirit remains the same. It can be found there: http://fgeorges.org/xslt/error-safe/error-safe.html.
I don't know if the EXSLT project is open to extensions for XSLT 2.0. I think that would be worth having an error handling extension defined in such a vendor-neutral project. I'm indeed interested in any comments about this extension and its specification.
