[Zhenbin Xu] Regardless what different browser does today, rich parsing
error is an important feature for developers. I have found it can
pinpoint the exact problem that otherwise would have been difficult to
identify when I sent incorrectly constructed XML file.
Mozilla shows the XML error in its error console, which seem more useful
than exposing the error to script, really. (I expect other browsers do the
same but I haven't checked as recently.)
That's useful, but IMHO not nearly as useful as giving the script code
the ability to access the information. Sometimes errors happens in the
absence of the developer, and it's useful to have an easy and
automatable way to get the diagnostics.
