Jing's validator got refactored and the error reporting was substantially 
redone.  See

http://code.google.com/p/jing-trang/source/browse/trunk/mod/pattern/src/main/com
/thaiopensource/relaxng/pattern/PatternMatcher.java

It's a pity the validate-nu branch isn't using the new code.

I actually wasn't aware that it had been refactored on the trunk. I can 
definitely port that code over from the trunk that -- that's clearly the right 
thing to do. But it seems like I must be looking at the wrong code or 
something, because neither the latest change to the relevant code -- r2341 -- 
nor any prior changes that have been checked into that code this  year look 
like they are fix for issue 35. But as I said in the comment I just submitted 
for issue 35, I must be missing something here. I'll look back at the code 
again.
