That is only temporary: The change was already in Python's pyexpat.c,
and I merely propagated it to PyXML. It's definitely desirable to port
this with older Python versions.

I think the best approach is to revert Tim's change and use sprintf
again, adding a comment that this cannot possibly overflow, unless you
have integers larger than 64 bits, and that many lines and columns in
a file.
