Odd use of "continue to make [my] argument" when I made a different point.

That's line numbers in the source, a different question. Once the document has 
been parsed, the line number ceases to have relevance. You discuss what's 
needed during compilation, a completely separate phase from the result phase, 
in this case a DOM tree.

I agree that it's useful to know where in the source there's a problem, up 
until but not including when the source has lost relevance.
