I've provided a patch that makes it an option, and a patch that just
does it as per the test suite.

Either option is ok for me.

I'd appreciate one of them to be considered upstream, so I don't have to
maintain an extra patchset.

The use case is valid debugging information 'which file does this
fragment originate from' using lxml or any other tool based on libxml2.

thx,


S.
