Title: is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?
For native Flash Player APIs, I'd log a bug against the player... this isn't really a Flex decision.

I am not really fussing very hard, it is just that we have:

 

XML.appendChild()

XML.insertChildAfter()

XML.insertChildBefore()

XML.prependChild()

 

but no XML.removeChild?

 

delete is a completely different style syntax.

I don't know whether it is the best or only way, but it seems consistent with the use of the 'delete' operator to remove a dynamic property of an Object.

If this is the final API, I can deal with it, it is just inconsistent and undocumented, and a bit of a shock when the rest of the api is so clean and logical.

I admit I have not read the e4x specification.
