XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Peter Murray-Rust <pm286 AT cam.ac.uk>]

I am using XOM 1.1 and (by mistake) have been able to create null children
of an element by inserting at too high a position. Should this have been
trapped in insertChild() and thrown an IndexOutOfBoundsException. The error
is exemplified by the debug printout (the fooModule are XOM Element):

            LOG.debug("inserting at: "+moduleStart+" ; childCount =
"+legacyModule.getChildCount());
            legacyModule.insertChild(totalRegexModule, moduleStart);
            LOG.debug("childCount: "+legacyModule.getChildCount());
            if (moduleStart > 0) LOG.debug("added child:
"+legacyModule.getChild(moduleStart));
            LOG.debug("last child:
"+legacyModule.getChild(legacyModule.getChildCount()-1));

gives:
71   [main] DEBUG org.xmlcml.cml.converters.marker.RegexManager  - inserting
at: 6 ; childCount = 3
71   [main] DEBUG org.xmlcml.cml.converters.marker.RegexManager  -
childCount: 4
71   [main] DEBUG org.xmlcml.cml.converters.marker.RegexManager  - added
child: [org.xmlcml.cml.element.CMLModule: module]
71   [main] DEBUG org.xmlcml.cml.converters.marker.RegexManager  - last
child: null

TIA and apologies if this is a known (and corrected) bug.
