    45  *  <code>DOMErrorHandler</code> is a callback interface that the DOM
       
    46  * implementation can call when reporting errors that happens while
       
    47  * processing XML data, or when doing some other processing (e.g. validating
       
    48  * a document). A <code>DOMErrorHandler</code> object can be attached to a
       
    49  * <code>Document</code> using the "error-handler" on the
       
    50  * <code>DOMConfiguration</code> interface. If more than one error needs to
       
    51  * be reported during an operation, the sequence and numbers of the errors
       
    52  * passed to the error handler are implementation dependent.
       
    53  * <p> The application that is using the DOM implementation is expected to
       
    54  * implement this interface.
