That just makes the situation worse. If you want to turn a string of XML 
into JDOM, use SAXBuilder to convert it into elements. If you want to 
put a literal string into the JDOM heircachy, use addContent(String).

Remember when you think about these things that the addContent(String) 
doesn't escape the <>, it's SAXBuilder that unescapes them. In JDOM, 
things are not escaped - it's only when they are turned into XML (with 
XMLOutputter) that the escaping occurs.
