[jdom-interest] Element.getDocument() ?

[Joerg]

Can you explain it to me, what is the problem in the XPath implementation where you need
the method? A recursive getParent() seems also not to be very efficient. Maybe it is
possible to keep the owner Document somewhere in the XPath classes or keep track of it,
by passing it seperately to the necessary functions.
