[jdom-interest] Last call: getChild/getChildren versusgetChildElement/getChildElements

[Alex Rosen]

"I would expect that the incorrect method names would be deprecated 
and then removed in the following release, not eliminated 
immediately."

Yes, I assume that's the current plan, which is what I'm objecting to.

"If I recall correctly (hard to tell for sure without 
WebCVS) these methods have changed names several times before. In 
fact. I think at one point they were called something like 
getElements or getChildElements."

getChildren() hasn't changed, at least since beta 3. getContent() used
to be called getMixedContent(), it was changed in beta 7 (July 2001).
