[Bug 16608] Algorithms should rethrow the exception

Apologies. I would like to politely disagree with your comment. I think having
to propagate exceptions every time you call into an algorithm is rather
error-prone (as proved by the bug) and unnecessarily verbose for the default
case. Also, it seems rather confusing to silently eat exceptions in this spec,
while other specs like ES5, WebIDL and DOM4 do the opposite. (I'm not sure what
HTML does, but I would be rather surprised if it mentioned every place where an
exception could be thrown.) This way of throwing exceptions also matches how
exceptions work in programming.
