* DOMErrorHandler is a callback interface that the DOM
* implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while
* processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
* a document).
* The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
* implement this interface.How does one register an error handler in the
* core? Passed as an argument to super-duper-normalize or registered on the
* DOMImplementation?Document interface has an attribute errorHandler.
