[jdom-interest] Last call: getChild/getChildren versus getChi ldElement/getChildElements

[Phill_Perryman at Mitel.COM]

Oh good, can getParent also be renamed to getContainer() so it is lexically
consistent and also so I can extend Element and Implement MutableTreeNode
at the same time (Swing programming would be so much easier)..

For the record, I am for making getChildElement....()

Also, I agree with renaming child to content, but Parent should then be
renamed to Container.

.....

Do we need to change Parent's name then?  I'm thinking not since
getParent() should return a Parent.  Yes, we'll have a Parent/Content
pairing which doesn't roll off the tongue, but hey, at least everyone
won't have to change all their getChild() and getChildren() calls, we'll
have getContent() return Content, and I won't get yelled at.

So here's my proposal:
* Change Child to Content
* Remove getChildElement and getChildElements
* Undeprecate getChild and getChildren
