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.
