Not possible in standard XSLT 2.0, but you could try saxon:try().
Ahh ok, thanks.
I'm already using saxon:parse but I think saxon:try might be step too far...
It looks like I'll have to recreate the validation checks within the
transform - all simple enumerations but a pain nonetheless.
It would be useful to have little more control over validation within
the transform:
- check if something would be valid if validated (like say castable
as... maybe validatable as!)
- handle validation failures, such as validating the input and
reporting problems, or ignoring invalid elements: processing 1000
repeating elements where the lot fail because 1 of them fails
validation is a reasonably common problem.
thanks
