Hi Jonathon Watt,

This seems a rather peculiar implementation...  How do you distinguish 
between success and failure in the above situation?

i.e. consider:

x=new DOMParser();
out=x.parseFromString('<parsererror 
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/parsererror.xml">XML Parsing 
Error: no element found Location: file:///c:/test.html Line Number 1, Column 
6:<sourcetext> -----^</sourcetext></parseerror', "text/xml");

Which you might do if you were using a tool which consumed bug reports, how 
do you know if you've got a real error, or parsing failed?

Cheers,

Jim.
