This is probably some kind of bug. Each token returned from
LexerString / LexerFile should have Location structure set exactly to
beginning of token (its first char) and its end.
All whitespaces should be ignored.

Group token from PreParser should have Location set to beginning of
opening brace up to end of closing brace. So you could use something
like  Beginning+(1 or 2)  ---- End-(1 or 2)

If I only knew what AuthoringSink is ;)
