Personally I wouldn't consider checking for the existence of an array/structkey/variable before outputting it "all that extra work." Also I would say that relying on an element to exist in order to preserve the integrity of a function/app/procedure is very good practice. My custom error handlers are riddled with isDefined etc to preserve the integrity of the error report.
