A stringbuffer is how it's stored, not what it *is*.  How it's stored could
change and that is the point.  Since JDOM is built on the idea that
subclassing should be easy and a good idea, I would think that subclassing a
JDOM specific base class makes more sense than subclassing JavaSoft's
StringBuffer.
