BTW, one way of dealing with this would be to add a property to the base class
of the DOM objects that would hold the error, so you could do something like
g_object_get (object, "dom-property", &dom, "dom-error", &error, NULL); I guess
you'd define it so that it only holds the first error reported, to match the
semantics of exceptions (meaning that if you try to access several properties
at the same time you'll only get the first error in case there's several..). Of
course setter/getter functions are easier because you can only access one
property at a time :)
