That makes a little more sense, but still the interface is called 
Locator, not EntityInfo. The system ID, public ID, line and column 
number, are necessary to find the current location of the event. The 
encoding and version are not. Perhaps we could just rename Locator2 
EntityInfo? I could believe that an EnitytInfo is a Locator; but no. 
Line and column numbers are not part of the entity info.  They are 
different things. Hmm...
