The non-HTML element can be tricked into appearing to be an actual HTML
element if you use:
document.create("fakeElementTagName"); somewhere on the page. Once that's
done, IE will treat <fakeElementTagName>foo-bar</fakeElementTagName> as an
actual DOM element, and you should be able to remove it using regular DOM
helpers. (e.g. parentNode.removeChild, or Prototype's .remove();)
Try it out and let me know.
Best,
Alex
