That's correct.

WIP = Work In Progress.

The FilterList implementation in jdom-wip is in pretty good shape. You can
get it via CVS.

I've also put the JAR at http://www.axlrosen.net/jdom-wip.jar, if people
want to give it a try. Caveats:

- This is based on the latest CVS code, not the beta 7 code, plus it has
Philip Nelson's patch:
http://www.servlets.com/archive/servlet/ReadMsg?msgId=161544&listName=jdom-i
nterest.

- Some of the methods on Document that were deprecated in beta 7 are gone in
this version.

- This may require some other changes in your code, mainly if you were
relying on the broken behavior of the old PartialList. E.g. if you were
getting a list of the children of an Element, and then expecting that list
not to change after the Element was modified. For the most part, however, it
should be drop-in compatible.

Give it a whirl, and let me know what you find.
