Maybe.  Rubs me the wrong way somehow tho.

They're primarily to help with a tool like Cocoon that reads PIs with

A Document without a root element is a malformed document.  One perk of
using JDOM is that every Document you create is guaranteed to be
well-formed.  (There are some loopholes still, but we're filling them.)
