I think this is useful information for some applications. On other hand, I don't think XML parsers are under any obligation to provide this information; it has a cost in terms of performance and complexity and parser writers may decide that, for their target market, it's not worth this cost. I don't think SAX should be impossible to implement on top of such parsers. Also SAX is supposed to be simple. Adding a Location argument to every single callback is a very significant increase in complexity. Moreover it complicates the use of SAX for all applications, even those (I guess the majority) that are aren't interested in this location information. Unless a better way can be found to do this, I don't think this functionality should be added. James xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
