Yeah, I had second thoughts after I sent that message.  If we do this  
now (immediately after OpenLaszlo 3.1 ships) then there will be  
plenty of time to discover before the next release if there are any  
problems.  And it doesn't look like JDOM is on any particular  
schedule --- there haven't been any announcements or commits since  
the 1.0 release more than a year ago.
