[jdom-interest] insertChild in Element

[trebor.a.rude at lmco.com]

	Actually, returning this wouldn't mimic the current functionality of
getChildren(), which weeds out all the non-Element children in the List it
returns. If we do end up having Element implement List, there's no reson to
change getChildren().  That would be best for backwards compatibility, and
allow programmers to use whichever model they're comfortable with.
