[jdom-interest] Moving Subtrees using JDOM

[Jason Hunter]

An element retains its children when it's moved, so I don't know what
problem you could be having.  Just detach the element from its own
parent and splice it somewhere else, and all its children will tag along
for the ride.

If you think you spotted a bug, try the latest code from CVS (it's back
up).
