Source Mapping for IATI spreadsheets #651

We want to be able to relate validation messages back to where it was in a spreadsheet that caused them.

To do this we need to know the location in the XML (ie. the xpath), where the error occured.

After doing some digging myself at the start of last week, I discovered today that there's a commit on lxml master now that does exactly what we want - https://github.com/lxml/lxml/commit/61087e2d3cb7d99dcf6efd03b695c77759770c4a - which was introduced in this pull request https://github.com/lxml/lxml/pull/244/files.
