I think that the right solution to your problem is to fix getAttribute()
rather than adding an error handling function. I don't think that
exception handling is really appropriate in a stylesheet language. Bugs
will happen, but its not like there is any obvious recovery strategy for
them.

even within cities and towns, which is not a struggle between competing
