[jdom-interest] Beta-10 DocType cannot be added after root?

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

This code worked fine with Beta 9, but under Beta 10, it throws an
exception calling javax.xml.transform.Transformer.transform():

        JDOMSource jds = new JDOMSource(dom);
        jds.getXMLReader()
                .setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", 
                            false);

        JDOMResult newdom = new JDOMResult();

        Transformer xslt = tfact.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xsl));

            xslt.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.STANDALONE, "yes");
            xslt.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
            xslt.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no");
            xslt.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_PUBLIC, 
                                   getConfig()
                                   .getString(SML_PUBLIC_PROPERTY,
                                              SML_PUBLIC_DEFAULT));

            xslt.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, 
                                   newdtd.getSystemID());

        xslt.transform( jds, newdom);

this throws the following exception and traces back to that last statement:

/Curiously/, a bit farther down in the source, I /do/ attempt to replace
the DocType with  this ...

            newdom.getDocument().setDocType(newdtd);

but the exception clearly happens in a try/catch block long before this
line.

Is there something new/fixed between b9 and b10 that I'm missing here?
