The Saxon tree model allows you to store line numbers if you set an
appropriate flag when building the tree. But this is a read-only model -
it's suitable if most of your access is through XPath but you might not want
to use it otherwise.

XOM allows you to define subclasses of the standard node classes so that
extra information can be stored, this would allow you to capture the line
numbers from SAX while building the tree. However, this involves writing
your own node factory class.
