This implies to identify each object (using "instanceof") in the list and then cast thoses objects into their specific classes because detach() is not defined in an interface common to each Object found in a JDOM tree... sigh. Maybe it would be a good idea to define an interface for all those objects that can be found in a JDOM tree.
