My observation is that after the exception it is possible to 
move to the next element without issue. Is this something 
expected and will be maintained?


    try {
        range.popFront();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        range.popFront;
    }

Ok so this worked when inside a quoted attribute value but not a 
normal tag body. Clearly I'm not parsing valid XML so I'm going 
outside the bounds of valid parameters. But rather than writing a 
custom parser to handle this, it would be nice to have:

     try {
         range.popFront();
     } catch (Exception e) {
         range.moveToNextTag();
     }

Which would make front a MalformedParse containing the content up 
to the next <.
