I sometimes have trouble debugging PAGE-XML documents that just won't open in PageViewer, despite the fact that they validate under the schema and there is no obvious mistake. The problem is that PageViewer won't tell you (except that when it outright crashes, you at least get a stack trace).

Now I digged into /PrimaDla/src/org/primaresearch/dla/page/io/xml/XmlPageReader.java and found that XmlPageReader.read() does have all the information in a PageErrorHandler instance called lastErrors. But this gets thrown away.

Why is this not piggy-backed on an exception which PageViewer's event listener can then react on?

For example, it would help seeing (at least on the console):

There is no ID/IDREF binding for IDREF 'region0015'
