seems to be. i asked the same question some days ago and have no
direct solution so far.
what i did to circumvent this is doing a xml->xml transformation (with
sablotron), copying everything but the node i want to delete.
the xsl looks like:
-- snip --
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="@*|*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select='@*|node()[not(@id="%deleteme%")]'/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-- /snip --
everything but nodes with id of %deleteme% gets copied. this of course
ain't very pretty but works...
ru,
peter.
