Somewhat leery on this one--What are the use cases you're proposing for this?  
Attaching this type of debugging to a heavily-called function such as 
FOTreeBuilder.characters() could be a relatively high performance hit--so I 
want to make sure this passes a "cost-benefit" analysis.  As you see it, what 
are the benefits and what are the costs?

Is this just for testing use or you anticipate this while running in production 
as well?  The latter case, of course, would require more scrutiny.

Also, isn't it more common to store Locator information within the callee?  
I.e., have the FObj.toString() just return information about its inherent data 
to the callee, and let the latter append Locator info (or whatever else callee-
specific) to it--in those areas where we need to do debugging, troubleshooting, 
etc.

Thanks,
Glen
