I have been writing a component that lets you do this kind of thing using
XPath. So you can do things like:
myXML.Insert('XPath of parent','name of tag', value);
or
myXML.Delete('XPath of elements/attributes/comments/etc to delete');
or
myXML.Update('XPath of elements to update', value);
It is incomplete at present and undocumented but will do the thing you want
and more (it is also very efficient due to the use of XPath).
Let me know if you'd like me to send you a copy..
