[jdom-interest] PROPOSAL: Remove most constructors from XMLOu tputter (was round trip XML)

That's also a neat idea, but can easily be done as static variables on
XMLOutputter, e.g.

public class XMLOutputter {
  
	public static final XMLOutputter COMPACT = new XMLOutputter();
	static {
		COMPACT.setTrimText(true);
	}

	...
}
