I looked into PartialList.
Is it really possible to add any kind of object to this list ?
Doesn't this destroy the tree ??

Ok. It's clear how to prevent running into this problem.
The point is, I have written a whole set of jdom classes with
integrated event system. (Not DOM v3 compliant, but working really well)
I would like contribute my classes to everybody who likes it.
Now I try to ensure that no existing code has to be changed to use
my classes.

Element.detach() is easy to fix.
getMixedContent not that easy. Do you know why this PartialList is used.
Only for performance ?
