[jdom-interest] Problems Creating a Document

[Laurent Bihanic]

Well, it's worth trying using Xerces (1.4.3 is OK) anyway. If the problem 
disappears, it may be that UPS have this "byte order" header at the top of the 
file (usually 2 characters 0xFFFE or OxFEFF according to the byte order 
encoding chosen).
