Hi.

I've just checked in a small work-arround to SequenceBuilderBase. It 
catches exceptions during feature instantiation and puts the offending 
feature templates under a well-published annotation key in a Set. This 
lets us process the entries with locations like <1 which untill now have 
made the parser barf.

This may or may not be the long term solution, and at the very least I 
think it would be nice to give the option for parsers to fail on illegal 
feature locations (as per the old behavior). If anyone has views, I'm 
more than open to options. At least now we can process files that 
previously were not available to us.
