			// reveal note
			tree = document.windows[0].content
			tree.nodeForObject(DBItem).expandNote(false)

			utterance = createUtterance(err.message)

		}
	}
})();

IMPORTANT: The following reset leaves the attributes: link, font-weight, font-italic, baseline-offset, and baseline-superscript, untouched.
