Using PHP's XMLReader, how do I get the line number of the current node?

Question

Using the XMLReader XML parser in PHP 5.3, I need to get the line number of the current node. A column number or total offset from the beginning of the file would be nice, too.

Hopefully I don't have to use some hack like parsing every raw node string for newlines (with readOuterXML()), but I don't see a getLineNo() property like in the DOM...

See XMLReader::expand which returns a DOMNode element, which in turn supports getLineNo()
