Details

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/uconv/public/nsIUnicodeDecoder.h#64
has a (deprecated) NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_INPUT define.

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/intl/uconv/public/nsIUnicodeDecoder.h#146
says that that error will be thrown for illegal input.

However, only one decoder actually uses that error:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/search?string=error_illegal_in

I'm not sure what the others return, although the UTF-8 one uses
NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED. It would be nice if the documentation was updated and if
the implementations were consistent.
