* DOMErrorHandler is a callback interface that the DOM

* processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
* a document). A DOMErrorHandler object can be attached to a
* Document using the "error-handler" on the
* DOMConfiguration 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.
* The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
* implement this interface.
