[jdom-interest] non-deterministic behaviour [eg]

[skeens]

Oops. I didn't think about that one.

Now this may be a dumb question but why are you passing in a List to setMixedContent() rather than a JDOM specific container:
public Element setMixedContent(JDOMList mixedContentC);

I'd like to know the reasoning because  I'm coming from a long history of C++ where containers of generic objects is frowned upon.

That has the unfortunate side effect that then we store an external list
within Element.  We can't then protect against illegal objects being
added and such, because mods to the List can happen ungated.
