Hmm, if it's schema-specific, then shouldn't it be "schemaError" ?

Were I to ask for more specific indications of DTD (or schema) related
errors, I'd use subclasses of SAXParseException, passed to error().

Note that this addresses the same issue that the integer code in
exceptions addresses, but it does it in a different way.  I'd really
go for only one solution to such problems.
