Yep, internally, during rendering, everything is first written to a
OutputStream or a PrintWriter (you have choices!)...rightnow, the toString()
method creates a ByteArrayOutputStream and a BufferedOutputStream is applied
to that (which is then passed to the rendering methods).
It is all very configurable, I promise. Also, remember that you will have
full source code so you will be able to do with it whatever you want. ;-) It
is a low level Construction Set for creating even cooler stuff. Adding basic
Elements takes about 5 minutes. ;-)

The concept of a Document within this API is just a collection of Elements.
Rightnow, a Document has (Html,Head,Title,Body) elements and methods to
get/set them. One of my examples was incorrect with getTitle("The
title")...it will be setTitle("the title") when it is released, very late
night programming error on my part. To answer your question, you don't need
to "iterate" through the elements since a Document isn't really something
that you would want to iterate though...it is just a collection of things
that you already know the names of.

You are not understanding the point of this API. When you see it the above
question won't apply. Essentially, you can create something that complies to
the DOM spec (or any tag spec for that matter) with this API.
