[jdom-interest] suggested JDOM2 improvements

[Rolf Lear]

Hi Leigh

I think we are both missing something here.

In JDOM2 I'm convinced that XPath is deprecated... so, while it is still 
in the ALPHA at the moment it will have a viable replacement by the next 
ALPHA.

We'll make sure the replacement is 'good' for custom/other XPath backend 
implementations.

Give me a day to polish up a proposed replacement. I think you are 
missing the tricks of the XPathFactory code in the current ALPHA 
release, but there's not much point in fighting it when it is going to 
change anyway.
