If libxml_error is for parser errors then it should probably be called
parser_error, but we can leave it for now.

I would like to keep each class in its own .h/.cc files, and to put them
in an exceptions sub-directory.

If it makes the code simpler. We will discover what's best as we
implement it. Let's start.

Probably. If it is not open-ended then an enum type might be
appropriate.
