* <code>DOMErrorHandler</code> is a callback interface that the DOM

* a document). A <code>DOMErrorHandler</code> object can be attached to a
* <code>Document</code> using the "error-handler" on the
* <code>DOMConfiguration</code> interface. If more than one error needs to
* be reported during an operation, the sequence and numbers of the errors
* passed to the error handler are implementation dependent.
* <p> The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
* implement this interface.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>.
