If this is true, I would drop my objections.  But is it true?  I'm curious, if
jdom matched xerces DOM, would people choose it?  If it was slightly slower or
memory intensive?  Faster?

I have to admit to having been swayed somewhat.  Right now, people who use xml
are pretty familiar with it, at least in comparison to how it will be when in
the future, developers rely more on higher level tools than they do now.  Down
the road, xml may well be much less significant to developers, and that's a
good thing.  And then Elliotte will be right, they will assume that the
document is either well formed, well formed and validated against a dtd or
against a schema.
