I think it could. Each layer just catches the exception thrown by the
underlying layer, wraps it in a new exception, and tosses it to the
layer above it (unless it wants to fix the problem somehow. Right now
I'm toying with the idea of an XMLFilter that fixes all the bugs I've
uncovered in Xerces, including incorrect exception handling.)
