A kludge might be to put an XML comment at the top and bottom of each 
file identifying the file's name, e.g.
   <!--XML source file = foobar.xml -->
and then searching up or down in the output file from the error site 
(and maybe doing some arithmetic on the line numbers to come up with the 
line # in the original file--that assumes newlines are preserved in the 
process, which I think they can be).
