	Ah, chaining. Keep forgetting about that, don't use it. Is it even 
possible with the DOM (if not, would explain why I don't use it, keep 
following the old patterns)? Don't remember.

	No, but you could add methods that mimic the List methods and only take 
JDOM nodes. Of course, then you'd have to cast the List to a PartialList 
to use them, which really isn't any good, is it? Oh well, I just write 
whatever I happen to be thinking at the moment and trust the list to sort 
it out if I'm out of my mind. :)
