Configuration - behaviour not as expected?

[Jason Harrop]

Hi.
I made a small test to experiment with the 
org.apache.avalon.configuration package.

I wanted to see what it would do with mixed content, so i fed the 
following XML file into my Test.java:

XML
===
<root>
        <alpha>apples</alpha>
        <beta>beta content</beta>
        <charlie>cares!</charlie>
        <christie/>
        <doesnt>christie, that is</doesnt>
        <elf><child1/>mixed<child2/></elf>
</root>
OUTPUT
======
alpha : apples
beta : beta content
charlie : cares!
No value is associated with the configuration element "christie"
doesnt : christie, that is
No value is associated with the configuration element "elf"
No value is associated with the configuration element "child1"
child2 : mixed
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
==================
I expected it not to like the mixed content inside <elf>.  I didn't 
expect it to say the value of <child2> was "mixed"!

test.java attached.
thanks,
Jason
