/**
 * DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., 
 * when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, 
 * because data is lost, or because the implementation has become unstable). 
 * In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary 
 * processing situations, such as out-of-bound errors when using 
 * <code>NodeList</code>.
 * <p>Implementations should raise other exceptions under other circumstances. 
 * For example, implementations should raise an implementation-dependent 
 * exception if a <code>null</code> argument is passed when <code>null</code>
 *  was not expected.
 * <p>Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of 
 * exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using 
 * native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, 
 * methods may return error codes similar to those listed in the 
 * corresponding method descriptions.
 * <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>.
