If I can chime in here, I think a line number associated with each entry
might be nice because you might not want to process the XML document
sequentialy. For example, I might want to report all the line numbers
that changed in rev 456. The easiest way to get these entries using
XPath would be to do a query like //entry[@revision="456"]. However,
this just gives me a collection of nodes without any context, so I'd
need a <line> element if I wanted to be nice and lazy ;-)
