I'd much prefer to see code that looks like:
      try {doSomeDOMStuff() }

              case "HierarchyRequestError": ...; break;
              default: throw e

Any work with DOM API (at least in Firefox) makes even this case 
impractical.  You'll be luck if the exception has *any* meaningful content.
