Note that the reason some parsers fail to provide location information 
for an encoding error is that in a properly layered architecture you 
need to do decoding before you start recognizing line endings, which 
means that the information about line numbers is typically not available 
at the point where the decoding error is detected. The layer that does 
know about line endings can intercept the error and add line number 
information, but the decoding layer may well be "reading ahead" by 
several thousand characters, making the location information unreliable. 
So Firefox is either smart, or lucky. Or wrong.
