[jdom-interest] DOMOutputter output-methods question!

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

As I said I'm new to that but I've seen a little discussion about the method :
     org.w3c.dom.Element DOMOutputter.output(org.jdom.Element element)


That method's fundamentally flawed at the signature level. Don't use 
it. I think it's deprecated. If it isn't it should be.

The basic problem is that DOM cannot create an Element that is not 
part of a Document. All Element objects have exactly one Document 
object that both creates and holds them. They cannot be separated 
from the Document that initially creates them.
