 /* Implementation note about error handling
  * ----------------------------------------
- * 
+ *
  * Usually, code that uses StAX directly just stops processing of an XML document
  * once the first parsing error has been reported. However, since Axiom
  * uses deferred parsing, and client code accesses the XML infoset using
  * an object model, things are more complicated. Indeed, if the XML
  * document is not well formed, the corresponding error might be reported
  * as a runtime exception by any call to a method of an OM node.
- * 
+ *
  * Typically the client code will have some error handling that will intercept
  * runtime exceptions and take appropriate action. Very often this error handling
  * code might want to access the object model again, for example to log the request that caused the
  * failure. This causes no problem except if the runtime exception was caused by a
  * parsing error, in which case Axiom would again try to pull events from the parser.
- * 
+ *
  * This would lead to a situation where Axiom accesses a parser that has reported a parsing
  * error before. While one would expect that after a first error reported by the parser, all
  * subsequent invocations of the parser will fail, this is not the case for all parsers

  * (incorrect) events afterwards. The explanation for this behaviour might be that
  * the situation described here is quite uncommon when StAX is used directly (i.e. not through
  * Axiom).
- *

  * To avoid this, the builder remembers exceptions thrown by the parser and rethrows
  * them during a call to next().
