It is now 2007. Not only Java 5 but Java 6 have been out for a while.
Any chance of Elements (and any similar classes) implementing the
Iterable interface in the near future?


No. My experience is that many, perhaps most, companies have only recently moved to Java 1.4, and are just starting to think about Java 5. I see little benefit to supporting Iterable, and huge disadvantges to it. Maybe in 5 years. Not now.
