So how about adding the suggested elt.addContent(List) that will iterate over

that list, do all the casts needed, detach whatever needs detaching, then add
it to elt?
Should be a simple method, I think. Only thing to consider is if it should be
a method of Element, or a utility method in jdom.contrib.
