Ok ... thanks for the "help" and the enlightening "discussion" ... we'll just 
continue shipping hacked stone-aged versions of xerces.

Betreff: AW: AW: Add fix from the Apache Flex project?

That was why I initially asked on this list, if there has been a fix in the 
project itself. As far as I understood the main problem, in case of a 
multi-line element they wanted to be informed about the exact line of the 
invalid content and not only about the row the element starts. They need this 
for error highlighing in the DIE. So if this issue has been addressed in future 
XAlan releases, I would be glad to switch to that.

This isn't really a "fix". Looks like they hacked in a custom feature that they 
needed for some reason. There's probably a cleaner way of implementing it 
internally, but worth pointing out that line/column information of attributes 
isn't something a user is going to be able to access from the standard JAXP 
APIs.
