So the answer seems to be that there is no way to drop the levels
without bypassing the "subset" argument.
The following creates the desired effect:
xyplot(yield~nitro, data=Oats[Oats$Block=="I" | Oats$Block=="II" , ] ,
group=Block [, drop=T], auto.key=T)
whereas dropping levels in the "group" argument does not create the
desired effect
xyplot(yield~nitro, subset=(Block=="I" | Block=="II"), data=Oats,
group=Block [, drop=T], auto.key=T)
