Makes sense - good thing to remember too, I've prettified all of my  
XML (line breaks and all), so it's likely that later on down the road  
printing out the line would make output unreadable - I suppose the  
colmumn number could allow for printing out snippets from that single  
line however.

previously it was for the purposes of saving face for what were  
likely n00b questions, but I'll definitely reveal my ignorance to  
others in the future ;)

thanks Philip!
