[jdom-interest] remove comments

[Jason Hunter]

If you want the output to have no comments, just override XMLOutputter's 
printComment() method to be a no-op.

To make a live change, you need to recurse.  Your code below only does 
one level.  There was easy recursion added I think in b10, but you can 
do it yourself easily enough.
