It's interesting.  One frightening thing however is "we assume the
default XML parser which is expat", and the _start_list (which should
actually be _start with python3) and _end hooks are not even documented.
When the python interpreter is provided by the system you wouldn't know
what would work.  We could put something which hopefully works because
the hooks happen to have the proper names, or at worse not do anything
and just not print line numbers.  I don't know what LO maintainers would
be fine with maintaining :)
