This is a domain where JDOM has been very very very careful with
loads of protected and a few too many privates (in particular in
XMLOutputter).... but hey, there's a good reason JDOM is a major
player in the DOM war... its API is tuned, tamed, readable,
polished... hence I had to accept the curses of convoluted subclasses
which, in a sense, is just bag of tricks you find your way through.
Precisely because of XMLOutputter, we are shipping a modified JDOM
(with a DTD-aware XMLOutputter) and you can't imagine how much rants
this provokes... and it is certainly a problem for your tool to be
considered a library part of a greater project.
