[jdom-interest] XML tree traversing

[Mores Stanislav]

Hi,

I wondered why not to have simpler mean of XML tree traversing,
by defining the following methods:

  Element getFirstChild();		- returns first child element or
null
  Element getNextSibling();		- returns next sibling element or
null

and possibly:
  Element getPrevSibling();

That would be more easier to use than getChildren(),
with no memory overhead (no List allocation),
especially when traversing the whole tree, which is my
case ( I need to process each node in the tree).

Is it good idea ? 
I guess there might be problem when modifying XML
document during traverse.
What do you think ?
