The perfectly good class was devoid of implementation:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/configuration/src/java/org/apache/commons/configuration/Attic/XmlConfiguration.java?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

The new DOM4J class is a XML-based implementation of the Configuration 
interface.  I figure implementations which use other supporting libraries 
(e.g. vanilla Xerces, etc.) will be forthcoming, so I added a base class 
into which to push common functionality and with which to develop a 
micro-API.  I have no compunctions about removing place holders.  :-)
