29   * This class allows you to walk a tree of JDOM Element objects.
30   * It first walks the tree itself starting at the Element passed
31   * into allElements() and stores each node of the tree
32   * in a Vector which allElements() returns as a result of its
33   * execution. You can then use a #foreach in Velocity to walk
34   * over the Vector and visit each Element node. However, you can
35   * achieve the same effect by calling <code>element.selectNodes("//*")</code>.
