Hi,
The first method fails because there is a bug in the
AbstractElement.accept(Visitor) method
IMHO accept should not assume that the visitor will not change the
structure of the element, and it caches the element & attribute counts
for performmance.
Is there any reason why a visitor should not modify the content?. I will
start a separate post regarding this
The second method failes because you are attempting to remove the node
from the document, not the parent node.
If you use
n.getParent().remove(n),
or better still
n.detach()
Then it works
