[jdom-interest] String utilities for JDOM?

[Jon Baer]

Hey,

2 questions...

Im looking to see if there are any "string utilities" if anyone has done
it already to overwriting things like List.toString() (noticed there
wasn't a PartialList.toString()).

I need to write out Elements back in there original form and was
wondering if its possible without an XMLOutputter, say
element.toString() = <element foo="bar">value</element>

Also Im in the middle of doing somethere where Id like to try to keep
Elements locked inside a Map and wanted to see if there was a
performance factor between keeping the Element in the map rather than
say keeping the String value and having to rebuild the Document again.
Any ideas?
