1. I think I can delete the abstract toString() method in Node. All nodes
have toString anyway because Object does, and the actual implementations
in the subclasses won't change. I don't think this will actually break any
code. The main advantage is that I reduce by one the XOM score in the
table comparing the number of methods in DOM, JDOM, and XOM. (This is
like golf. Low scores are good.)

Never mind on this one. Seems I already did that and just hadn't updated the notes. I'm still thinking about the change to Builder. I've heard John's thoughts. Anyone else?
