[jdom-interest] Element Reference from Attribute

[Jerry Lawson]

Here's my thoughts: I like the simplicity of the JDOM as opposed to the
cumbersome DOM API. I would hate to for DOM2 requirements on
JDOM, cuz then it wouldn't be JDOM anymore.
I applaud the creators of JDOM for maintaining the position of not allowing
feature creep. Once the creep starts, it becomes a wave.
I have taken to extending the JDOM classes for my applications.
This meant that I had to re-invent the SAXBuilder so that it does
'new' on *my* (extended) objects, rather than the standard Element,
Attribute, CDATA, etc. I was able to do this without having to hack up
JDOM source code (although I did fix-up Namespace.java as per many
previous postings to this list).
