Rome is an RSS API (ASL) - https://rome.dev.java.net/

It looks like JDOM is only used to pretty-print (indenting, line separator) the 
resulting xml.

I'll email her and see if she doesn't mind removing the dependency.

How dependent on JDOM is it (and what is "rome"?  Did you mean "some"?  If so,
what are the other dependencies?)?  Can it be changed to basic DOM or SAX in
order to get rid of the JDOM dependency?  I can see application code depending
on JDOM, especially since then it is the individual developer's choice, but we
should avoid these dependencies if at all possible in utility code such as
Log4j.

Otherwise, I welcome the contribution.
