Bob,
This helps a lot, I wasn't aware of the identity template.
Perhaps this is also a 2-second answer for you...what if I want to remove an
element, and add a different element to its ancestor. Specifically, if I
find a conceptName with tags/conceptNameTag[tag='preferred'] I want to
remove that and add <conceptNameType>FULLY_SPECIFIED</conceptNameType> to
the *conceptName*.
E.g. changing this:
<conceptName>
<tags>
<conceptNameTag>
<tag>preferred</tag>
</conceptNameTag>
</tags>
</conceptName>
To this:
<conceptName>
<tags/>
<conceptNameType>FULLY_SPECIFIED</conceptNameType>
</conceptName>
I can think of several very verbose ways to do this, but I imagine there's a
concise one that uses a command I'm not aware of...
