Without having spent much time with DOMError, my first interpretation of
"fatal error" is along the lines of:
System.out.println("Fatal Error");
System.exit(1);
"fatal DOMError", "does not dispatch fatal errors to the
DOMErrorHandler" or something along those lines would have provided a
clue that the traditional definition was not intended.
