I want the final document to look pretty, so doing the cleanup on output
would require 2 cycles, parse document, save with compact format, read
compact document, save with pretty format.

Since these particular documents have no DTD, is there a way to tell the
parser that there are no mixed elements, and thus perform the cleanup ?

These documents are not serialized using JDOM. They are uploaded to a Tomcat
servlet which simply parses them (using JDOM), and sometimes sends them as
web content. It's this web content I want to look as nice as possible.
