[configuration] DOM vs DOM4J
Is there a good reason to keep the configurations using DOM4J instead of
their DOM based equivalent ? If there is no difference between the two
I'm tempted to remove DOM4JConfiguration and
HierarchicalDOM4JConfiguration (or to move them to a contrib directory),
and then merge DOMConfiguration into XMLConfiguration and
HierarchicalDOMJConfiguration into HierarchicalConfiguration.
What do you think ?

Although I'm not involved in configuration I would warn about speed and
memory differences.
I haven't used dom4j intensively but did, at the time use jdom quite
much. They are very similar in memory and speed.
And this from a migration from Xerces DOM. Basically it went as follow:
- time to build with Xerces DOM 100%
- time to build with Xerces SAX on JDOM 50%
- time to build with Saxon's Aelfred SAX on JDOM 25%
Also, using dom4j might, if you do this well for it, offer you weak
xml-loading using XPP... (at least in theory).
