If you mean that the "xml" is not well-formed then you will have to use some 
other method, read as a text file perhaps,  and extract the section you want 
first and then use xslt on this. If you mean the xml has the wrong 
structure, it's not valid according to a schema whether physical or just in 
the mind, then you need to show a bit more of the data and what you are 
trying to achieve.
