[jdom-interest] Trouble using DOMOutputter

[Josh Natarajan]

basically I am trying to create a JDOM directly and pass it to the
DOMOutputter. Somehow the 
Document resulting from it is unusable by the transformer. here is a test
case...

this test case does three things
1) builds the JDOM directly and does a transform
2) builds a DOM directly from the Builder by calling parse on a xml file and
then does a transform
3) dumps the source and the result DOM objects

<if you scroll to the bottom i have include the console dump>
domResult1 is not the the same as domResult2...why?
actually domSource1 is not exactly the same as domSource2.
notice the linebreaks put by the serializer in domSource2 but not in
domSource1...any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
