Because it's a trade-off between space and usefulness. Note that the parser
reports line numbers without that limitation. Only the xmlNode struct
restricts it.

This is a FAQ, BTW. You can look up the details in the mailing list archives.

The reported line number does in no way imply any limitations of the parser.
