	The commands may alter any of the tag-specific variables

	errors may be indicated if encountered in childReturnCode and the error* variables

	setting childReturnCode equal to FAILURE_CODE declares that the read head has not moved

	childReturnCode must be set (or default "you have to move forward to match" semantics are used)
