[jdom-interest] why did you change Element.addContent?

[Alex Rosen]

There was some talk of changing it back, because the benefit of the
Parent notion was not worth  the cost in broken code. Jason, what did
you decide on this?

I used to write code like:

propsElem.addContent(new
Element("getlastmodified").addContent(resourceInfo.httpDate));

and I think it was just fine. This was a distinctive trait of jdom.
I've seen other people complaining in this list but I've seen no
replies:
what's the rationale behind changing the API like this?
Or do you think that a code with a thousand casts in it is "good"
code?

Davide.
