  The name of the resource is hosted by the document node.
So node->doc->URL usually carries it. You can also get the
line number in recent versions of libxml2 by calling:
  long xmlGetLineNo(xmlNodePtr node)

if you have switched line number gathering using
  xmlLineNumbersDefault(1);
before calling the parser (it's not enabled by default to avoid 
possible backward compatibility problems).
