[jdom-interest] IllegalAddException: Cannot add a second root element, only one is allowed

[Jason Hunter]

It's not well-formed XML to have more that one root node, so JDOM 
doesn't allow it.  If you wanted to create a file containing this "fake 
XML" you could just serialize multiple JDOM documents out the same 
stream, one after the other.  You won't have much luck getting an XML 
parser to read it back in, however.
