It's not JDOM's fault, but it is something JDOM needs to work around. 
XOM successfully works around it for the case of pathless URLs like 
http://www.cafeconleche.org

However, I have not yet devised a workaround that can handle URLs 
like http://www.ibiblio.org/xml where /xml might be a directory and 
might be a filename, and you really have to ask the server to find 
out which. :-(
