Also the list returned by Element.getChildren is a live list
so changing this list changes the Element. so the last step is
not nessesary. You coud write this:

elem1.getChildren().add(elem2);

But still, if you are just appending at the end of the list
the addContent(...) are the simplest and probably most efficient
as the getChildren metod generates a wraper list object around the
internal list.
