I don't talk about using JDOM. There is no need to change to another
library. I just talking about plain and simply refactoring.

The cost would be about two or three man hours. 
I document this refactoring for later review for my own, so I would take
as double that long. The good news is that I have a set of test cases to
test against. So it will be real fast. So hopefully in a couple of hours
I can show you the result and you can compare.
