XOM doesn't provide that. Row-columns are two layers below the 
information XOM exposes. That's down in the lexical layer. XOM exposes 
the structure layer. I know it would be useful for error reporting, but 
offering it would require contorting the API far too much, not to 
mention writing my own SAX parser.
