[jdom-interest] Using NanoXML and JDOM

[Dennis Sosnoski]

Oh, I see - it's not the getContent() calls (since most of the elements already have
content in the documents I use), it's the getAttributes() calls. Both calls create a
list for the requested items (and store it in the element) if there's not already a list
of that type present.
