Hi Anne,

Per the working group's discussion in the 5/5/2011 teleconference, we have rejected this issue. We find it useful to have a unique exception name for this case. The more descriptive name provides more context for the error at hand; making debugging easier. Additionally, not overloading INVALID_STATE_ERROR is preferable for SEO of specs and other documentation to help understand the error.

Thanks,

Jacob
