-1. I really feel like I've been clear here - nobody in JDOM ever has to
know what DOM is, how to use it, or anything else. They know there is
such a think as a DOM Document, and that's it. That's all it should be,
and this is just a solution for a problem that can be solved much
better. I don't have time to solve it now, but I'll write the thing on
the plane home if I have to.

I will not ever require the user to know DOM to get access to and from
DOM - it's just not good programming.
