    <thetext>     &lt;p&gt;Any uncaught exceptions thrown or errors caused by this
-    function must be reported to the user immediately after the error
+    function may be reported to the user immediately after the error
     that the function was called for, without using the &lt;span
     title=&quot;report the error&quot;&gt;report an error&lt;/span&gt; algorithm
     again.&lt;/p&gt;

This seems to make it&apos;s conforming to use the report an error algorithm again. It should probably say that the algorithm must not run again.</thetext>
