/**
 * DOM operations only raise exceptions in "exceptional" circumstances, i.e., 
 * when an operation is impossible to perform (either for logical reasons, 
 * because data is lost, or  because the implementation has become unstable). 
 * In general, DOM methods return specific error values in ordinary 
 * processing situation, such as out-of-bound errors when using 
 * <code>NodeList</code>.  
 * <p>Implementations may raise other exceptions under other circumstances. 
 * For example, implementations may raise an implementation-dependent  
 * exception if a <code>null</code> argument is passed. 
 * <p>Some languages and object systems do not support the concept of 
 * exceptions. For such systems, error conditions may be indicated using 
 * native error reporting mechanisms. For some bindings, for example, methods 
 * may return error codes similar to those listed in the corresponding method 
 * descriptions.
