[jdom-interest] Suggestion

[Mike Jennings]

Hi,

What about adding a method to org.jdom.Element

    public String getAttributeValue(String name, Namespace ns, String default)

Such that if the attribute named "name" does not exist, the String "default" is returned.
This could be useful in cases where an XML file has default values for attributes
that are not specified.

What do the powers that be think of this idea?
