Great a possible solution!!

I'm sorry, I don't understand what to do to 
achieve this :-( Any hints?

Ahhh, so the speed of xsldbg only will be 
affected, and only when the xml document has 
external entites in its DTD

Oops. What I meant is just to add 
the "xsldbg:uri" attribute to the all of the 
nodes/child nodes between firstNode and lastNode 
(where lastNode can be NULL). 

If I only added the "xsldbg:uri" to 
XML_ELEMENT_NODES wouldn't that mean that I'd 
need to "search" for node with the "xsldbg:uri"  
attribute? Or would I use a  function like 

void filesGetLineInfo(xmlNodePtr node, long 
*lineNo, const xmlChar** uri);

Which would only need to be in the files module 
of xsldbg and be based on the xmlGetLineNo code I 
submitted to libxml2.

Thanks for your patience while this problem is 
being resolved.
