line and column of an attribute

Hello,

I'm looking for a means to decorate my error messages with the line and 
column numbers of the location of an attribute in a DOM XML document.
I know how to do this for an element, based on the overriding of 
startElement described for instance in 
http://markmail.org/message/fofympr5oendfnxx
But I cannot find a means to do something similar for attributes...

Any help greatly appreciated !

Regards,
MAT.

I don't think that's possible with Xerces-C - the information is lost at 
a very low level in the scanner IIRC. You might find that other XML 
parsers can give you this information.
