[jdom-interest] Content as a Text Node (was JDOM JSR)

[wes at tralfamadore.com]

Brett,

Can you float the proposed interface for Text?

Other than getParent() and some ability to note
current view criteria (CDATA vs. plaintext), what's in
it?

Is there a case to make it a (private) inner class, or
will developers need to instantiate new Text() objects
directly?
