For example, if you look at html source code with errors in Netscape, you would notice, it recovers from errors by ignoring part of the input (it is shown in different color). This way, you can see where was the error. In the same way an Error node would just contains text representation of skipped part and can be ignored by the application processor if not needed. Most probably it could happen on any level. Regards, Alex.
