> XMLStreamException not calling "super(th)" in constructors

> The XMLStreamException in spec stax-api 1.2 is not calling the super(th) or
> super(msg, th) for the constructors that take a throwable. There are two
> problems this causes:
> 1) The "cause" is never set so the exception.getCause() always returns null
> and potentially important information in the cause is discarded.
> 2) For the super(th) one, no message is set at all. Thus, all information
> that could be useful is lost unless I specifically cast the exception to an
> XMLStreamException and call the getNestedException(). Any generic exception
> handling mechanism would not be able to provide a useful error message.
