Is there any particular reason why several of the methods in this class
return an *ArrayList*, instead of just a *List*?

And in the more general case, shouldn't all methods return generic
classes?  Map instead of HashMap or TreeMap, List instead of
ArrayList/LinkedList, etc?

Personally, I prefer passing around interfaces.
