Bingo. Right now, if you do
<code>
Document doc = new Document();
System.out.println(doc.toString());
</code>
you get:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This is because Document is an object built specifically to HTML. What
I am proposing is an object XMLDocument that doesn't assume you are
using XML. In fact, it doesn't add any "surrounding" elements at all,
because there are elements that take place before the root element in
XML. So yes, it will solve your problem.
