But what if <user> is in a collection of <userS> and I want to replace the whole <user> element and its contents. It seems I can only do this by removing the current <user> and appending the new <user> at the correct location. I would prefer to do this in with one command. It seems the <xupdate:update> command does not support the updating of a block of xml only the element data.
