This sounds like a question of semantics - I consider anything which will cause
PHP to halt execution with the message "Fatal Error" as a fatal error, even if
the sablotron extension is doing a RETURN_FALSE internally. Since there's no
possible way for a PHP developer to trap such an error, it sounds like the
documentation should be updated to reflect the way xslt_process() actually
behaves.
