The XSLT processor is given discretion here, whether to abort or to recover.
The actual behavior therefore depends on the processor you are using. Some
processors allow you to control the recovery action. If the processor
supports JAXP 1.1, you can write your own URIResolver which returns a dummy
document if no real document can be found.
