The standard Expat SAX Parser supplied with Python
(xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser) does not set the
document locator (using
ContentHandler.setDocumentLocator) when you are doing
an incremental parse (ie. using feed instead of parse),
although it does supply the locator when you do a full
parse.

Is there a reason why this is so, or is it just an
oversight?
