[jdom-interest] adding comments to a document object with on seperate lines

[Bradley S. Huffman]

I would extend XMLOutputter and overide printComment, printElement, and
printProcessingInstruction like this

    protected void printComment(Writer out, Comment comment) {
        super.printComment(out, comment);
        if (comment.getParent() instanceof Document) {
            out.write(getFormat().getLineSeperator());
        }
    }

Same for the other methods.
