Also, on a side note, for people wanting the "remove this document in such a matter that replication will *not* delete the document in the target db" you want to use the purge API. This is generally *not* what most people should use. Purge exists for things like rebalancing nodes in a cluster. Effectively operations that want to 'reparent' a docid to a different shard or some such. Paul Davis
