[jdom-interest] Base URI patch

[Jason Hunter]

Working on this patch...

Rusty, what's the logic in having isURICharacter() private in Verifier 
with others like isHexDigit() public?  I see right now we only have two 
private methods.  What should the dividing line be between public and 
private here?

Would you mind granting JDOM the code under the same copyright as all 
the rest, basically to Brett and me?  We've been running this tree like 
Apache runs their tree, where all code is under the same copyright so 
that we have the freedom to do (minor) license changes without asking 
everyone.

You don't have to worry about us doing something stupid with the license 
because the code from the day before we did the Something Stupid would 
be under the same license as always and everyone would just work off 
that tree.  That's the beauty of open source.  Once out, always out.
