[jdom-interest] Is JDOM dying?

[Malachi de AElfweald]

You are missing the point entirely.

HTML (v2, v3, v4), XHTML, and possibly some others all have the concept of 
the "A HREF" tag.  Therefore, the most object-oriented
approach would be to have a single class that extends URL that serializes
itself as an A HREF tag.  It doesn't matter which of those namespaces it
uses, it means exactly the same thing.  It would be better to write a 
single
class to handle it, then to write a class for each namespace that all do
exactly the same thing.

That was the whole point all along regarding this. People get off track 
because
they like the way they do it and they don't want to hear any other 
opinions. My
whole point regarding the A HREF thing was that sometimes you want the same 
behavior
for different namespaces. Period.  Give it a rest.
