[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

The message is displayed in the JS console if i recall correctly. But we should
also display it in the errormessage i agree.

It would also be helpful if the message were available programatically to users of nsIXSLTProcessor; this doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.
