I understand your point but what you describe is clearly not the kind of XML editor we want to promote (no offense intended). --- PS: Note that forced deletion of elements and attributes is the only way to cope with the following content model: (a|(b,c)) (in RELAX NG, you can also have (@a|(b,c)), (@a|(@b&@c)), etc).
