I see. I liked Locator because I can get away with
passing in one parameter into the vCN() instead of
three. (But I don't think we'll need to change that
portion of the code because whenever vCN() is being
called, the Locator *is* accurate--would you agree?)
Anyway, I do agree with your suggestion--obviously.
If you would be able to take care of reverting it I
would appreciate it. (If you find reverting it too
time-consuming, I can take care of it this weekend.)
Also, thanks for the Locator lesson here.

Hi Glen,
I think that your recent change that stores the
Locator instance in each
FONode is incorrect use of the Locator interface.
The docs says:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/org/xml/sax/Locator.html
Note that the results returned by the object will be
valid only during
the scope of each content handler method: the
application will receive
unpredictable results if it attempts to use the
locator at any other time.
And in fact, it is the same Locator instance that is
stored in each FONode.
I think it would be better to revert to using
separate
line/column/systemId fields if we want to know the
location of each FONode.
