Or even Iterable, which is new to Java 1.5 and usually makes more sense in
a read-only context.
Iterable could have also been used instead of List as a return value in
method like Document.getFields() and so on, but again, this would not
be backward compatible (although, for 3.0 we may decide that this is
not absolutely necessary).
