This is a domain where JDOM has been very very very careful with  
loads of protected and a few too many privates (in particular in  
XMLOutputter).... but hey, there's a good reason JDOM is a major  
player in the DOM war... its API is tuned, tamed, readable,  
polished... hence I had to accept the curses of convoluted subclasses  
which, in a sense, is just bag of tricks you find your way through.

Precisely because of XMLOutputter, we are shipping a modified JDOM  
(with a DTD-aware XMLOutputter) and you can't imagine how much rants  
this provokes... and it is certainly a problem for your tool to be  
considered a library part of a greater project.
