Yes, I found it too :(

The idea was to report the column number for all the errors from parser
where it is possible. I don't think this qualifies as "errors generated
on higher level" :) So would you (or anyone else) mind if I rename
"int2" into "column" and set it to the current parser column where
possible?


BTW, another question about "col" in struct _xmlParserInput: it seems
that currently it contains the character number from the beggining
of the file and not the column number from the beggining of the current
line (as I would expect from the comment :) ). Is this a bug or
a feature?
