I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but you could customize the scripting to
handle unresolved xincludes. You create a template that matches on xi:include
to output your own message. The default message comes from this template that
matches on any unrecognized element:
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:message>
<xsl:text>Element </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)"/>
<xsl:text> in namespace '</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="namespace-uri(.)"/>
<xsl:text>' encountered</xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="parent::*">
<xsl:text> in </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name(parent::*)"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>, but no template matches.</xsl:text>
</xsl:message>
<span style="color: red">
<xsl:text><</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:text>></xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:text></</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:text>></xsl:text>
</span>
</xsl:template>
You could create a custom template like this:
<xsl:template match="xi:include">
<span class="EmptyInclude">
<xsl:text>Currently there is no Data available.</xsl:text>
</span>
</xsl:template>
and perhaps add an xsl:message if you need it.

Subject: AW: [docbook-apps] Change error message in output for missing
xinclude?
Phil, David and Markus!
Thanks a lot for your help. I have adjusted my mother file by adding the
<xi:fallback> lines. Now the FO/PDF and HTML output looks good and supplies
proper information.
I agree to Markus' opinion, that adjusting the scripting (which produces the
referenced files) would be even more effective. But we have no influence over
it.
Best wishes,
Martin

This is very easy:
<xi:include href="intro.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";>
<xi:fallback>
<para>Currently there is no data available</para>
</xi:fallback>
</xi:include>
