Well, DOMUtils is now dependent on JDOM for getting the string value of
a node (at least in the webdavclient). I haven't used JDOM much myself
either (prefer dom4j) but the little bit that I've done with it has been
easy enough.

Yes, that's a good idea. Most of that stuff is available in Commons
Codec, which will also be used by Commons Httpclient.

Furthermore, I think the client library actually uses only a small
subset of the classes left in org.apache.util, so most of that could
be eliminated anyway.

The most heavily used parts are for sure the XMLPrinter and the
DOMUtils. Now that Daniel (was it him?) has introduced a dependency on
JDOM, I wonder if we could replace the use of these classes by their
JDOM equivalents. However I would like to hear other opinions on this
as I have no experience with JDOM myself.
