By "error string" I assume you mean error code (eg NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR). 
If you look at places where the algo would be used in 
(Document::normalizeDocument, Node::normalize) you will see discussion 
of what to do with the error:

"If errors occur during the invocation of this method (...) errors or 
warnings (DOMError.SEVERITY_ERROR or DOMError.SEVERITY_WARNING) will be 
reported using the DOMErrorHandler object associated with the 
"error-handler" parameter. Note this method might also report fatal 
errors (DOMError.SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR) if an implementation cannot 
recover from an error."
