[jdom-interest] instanceof Text and XMLOutputter request

[Todd O'Bryan]

Oh, this works fine. But since there seems to be an implied parallelism 
between output and outputString methods in the XMLOutputter class, my 
point is that the lack of a String-producing version of 
outputElementContent is inconsistent with the rest of the class.

I don't mind writing a few lines of extra code, but I kept looking for 
the method that would do what I wanted, because once I found 
outputElementContent I assumed there had to be a String version in there 
somewhere, given the rest of the code.
