I think we can return -1 if not supported. This is consistent with what is
returned in the case of line/column number.

What does you return if the implementation does not support
reporting of the character offset?

Why not "getXMLVersion" to match SAX2?

Just curious: you are exposing the XML version through the
XMLLocator but *not* from the parse exception? I'm not in
favor of adding it; I was just curious.
