There is no intentional change to the behavior. Please open a bug and attach your stylesheet and extension souce if you see something different.

Has the behavior changed since it was described by Morris Kwan in http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7357 ? Quoting the above URL, "1. If the extension element has a <xsl:fallback> child element, the fallback element is instantiated and no error is reported. 2. Otherwise if the exception is a TransformerException or RuntimeException, the ErrorListener.fatalError() interface is called. For other kinds of exception, the ErrorListener.warning() interface is called." Thanks, -- Nicholas Sushkin
