RE: More XHTML...

[snagy]

It would upset alot look at the example.  If you return an Element from
addElement you can't chain methods together after calling addElement,
breaking alot of code. I was trying to demonstrate why it is implemented
the way it is, and why I'm not willing to change it in the 1.x codebase.

Read his question again:
>How much of the upset would be to *return* *Element* *from* *addElement*,
>removeElement and other methods that normally return the more specific
>class(A, Html, Table etc.)?

I didn't say it was a good idea, but he seems to want it for some reason.
Does my proposal answer his question?

-----Original Message-----
No.

Table table = new Table().addElement(new TR().addElement(new TD
())).setWidth("100%").setCellSpacing("10")); // currently works.

If we made that change it wouldn't because Element knows nothing about
setWidth or setCellSpacing as they are specific to Table.
