[jdom-interest] About the Text class

[phil at triloggroup.com]

Now that this class seems to be adopted, why not leveraging its capabilities.

First, the JDOM code is full of instanceof operator, checking for particular content.  Why not creating a base class
that will be the root of the other? Then, a "int getType()" method will be easier and faster than the use of instanceof.
a sanity check method can then be written like "return type=BaseClass.ELEMENT||BaseClass.Attribute".

Secundo, there're a lot of similitudes between CDATA and Text: they are both encapsulating a String. Why not having an
intermediate class that encapsulates the common functionnalities, then preventing the JDOM user for always checking for
a CDATA and a Text?
