[jdom-interest] API REQUEST: Allow a branch in a tree to be serialized according to a parameter

[Jonathan]

Allow a branch in a tree to be limitedly serialized according to a parameter
EX: in the following xml I want to navigate to the "group" level and get all the "publication" children who meet a certain criteria as one string:

<configuration name="content_status_changer">
    <publication_groups>
        <group name="billboard" log_path="/content_status_change_logs" jsp_home="maintenance_billboard.jsp">
            <publication name="musician_magazine" display="Musician Magazine"/>
            <publication name="billboard" display="Billboard Magazine"/>
            <publication name="dinesh_music_review" display="Dinesh's Music Review"/>
            <publication name="cindys_chinese_recipies" display="Cindy's Recipies"/>
        </group>
    </publication_groups>
</configuration>


I would get as a return the string
<publication name="musician_magazine" display="Musician Magazine"/>
<publication name="billboard" display="Billboard Magazine"/>
<publication name="dinesh_music_review" display="Dinesh's Music Review"/>
<publication name="cindys_chinese_recipies" display="Cindy's Recipies"/>
