[xml] [PATCH] HTML Parser does not keep track of line numbers

[Aaron Patterson <aaron patterson gmail com>]

Hello,

The HTML parser does not keep track of line numbers.  If you parse an
HTML file, search for any non-text node, then get the line number from
the node, it will always return 0.

I've created a file to reproduce the problem, along with a patch to
libxml2 to fix it:

Also, I've filed a bug in bugzilla here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580705

Here is the patch (again):
