Fwd: [jdom-interest] elt.getContent().iterator().remove() - a bug?

[Jason Hunter]

The iterator used by PartialList has some bugs, and most likely you're
hitting one of them.  PartialList uses an approach to making the list
"live" which is fraught with problems.  That's why FilterList is being
written; it's just not live yet.  

Your code will work if you do e.removeContent((Comment)o).  If you want
to look at fixing the PartialList iterator, that'd be a fine approach
also.
