For the record, I am for making getChildElement....()

Also, I agree with renaming child to content, but Parent should then be
renamed to Container.

.....

Do we need to change Parent's name then?  I'm thinking not since 
getParent() should return a Parent.  Yes, we'll have a Parent/Content 
pairing which doesn't roll off the tongue, but hey, at least everyone 
won't have to change all their getChild() and getChildren() calls, we'll 
have getContent() return Content, and I won't get yelled at.

So here's my proposal:
* Change Child to Content
* Remove getChildElement and getChildElements
* Undeprecate getChild and getChildren
