XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Dick H <dick AT machj.com>]

I am using 1.0d12, my first experience with XOM and am overjoyed.

Found one nuisance with Element.getValue() when applied to an Element 
that has both Text and Element children.  I want just the concatonation 
of the Text nodes in the current Element.  getValue() includes even the 
non-Text child nodes. Don't want that.

Either of these solutions would do:

1) Add a method Element.getText(), which is like getValue() but includes 
only the Text nodes of the current Element.

    public final String /*getValue()*/ getText() {

        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
           Node child = getChild(i);
           if (child instanceof Text /*|| child instanceof Element */) {
               result.append(child.getValue());
           }
        }
        return result.toString();

    }

2) Change Element.getValue() to the above implementation
