The remove() method is intended to remove immediate children from a Branch
(Document or Element). So it will only work in the above code if "toRemove"
is the root element. So returning false should indicate that "toRemove" is
not an immediate child of the Document.
If you have a node which you wish to remove from its parent, whatever it may
be, then the detach() method is preferable, which will remove the node from
its immediate parent.
e.g.
Node toRemove = doc.selectSingleNode(tag);
if(toRemove != null) {
toRemove.detach();
}
