You can use JDOM in an applet without downloading any DOM classes, just
so long as you don't use the DOMBuilder in the applet. Java loads
classes dynamically and only as necessary. The org.jdom core
intentionally has no outside dependencies.
(Here's yet another reason not to have JDOM implement the DOM
interfaces, as if we really needed another.)
