Use doc-available() to test whether a document exists.

Subject: [xsl] doc() and document()
I wish to reference an external XML document that may or may
not actually exist using XSLT 2. When it doesn't exist a
command such as
<xsl:value-of select="document('ttt.xml')/one"/>
doesn't cause the transformation to fail whereas a command such as
<xsl:value-of select="doc('ttt.xml')/one"/>
does. I am using Saxon 8.
My understanding is that, since I am using XSLT 2, the doc()
function provides a more simple solution. Can someone advise
the correct way implement this?
Thanks
