I don't understand your logic in this, Elliotte. AFAIKS this method will
*never* be called after the parser has thrown an exception, only before.
I suppose if you want this to be completely correct it could say
something like "...about whether endDocument() will or will not be
invoked after the parser has reported a fatalError() (if an ErrorHandler
is used) and before the parser throws an exception." That seems likely
to confuse people more than the wording used by David, though.
