I concur with the idea that either getScanner() or some similar method ought to
be publically accessible. In my experience, access to the byte offsets within
the document is crucial for implementing some search algorithms. While it is
possible to build lists of pointers by manually processing the document stream
without parsing the XML, other constraints would make it necessary then to
perform the parse twice - once for the byte pointers, once to utilize Xerces for
the element context. That imposes a serious burden on performance that is
relatively easily resolved with public access to the scanner.
