And again my 2 cents: better sometimes a line number to help the user to  
find the error location than never.

Hey Eliotte, Michael seems to have other experience with with SAX line  
number!

I think line number support (even optional by passing the Locator into  
NodeFactory) would be a small but  important step for XOM ... to make it  
perfect ;-)
