RE: [xsl] Catching Parser/Transformer Exceptions Xerces and Saxon

["Michael Kay" <michael dot h dot kay at ntlworld dot com>]

If there's a parsing error, then the TransformerException thrown by
Saxon will encapsulate the SAXException thrown by the XML parser - you
can get it by calling getException().

But it may be better to set up an ErrorHandler associated with the XML
parser, so you are informed of XML parsing errors directly.
