FWIW, this is how I would approach the problem: 1. Turn the "dot-syntax" expression into an Xpath. If your Schema doesn't have a target namespace, then this is trivial: replace the "."s with "/"s. If it does, then it's a bit more complicated, because you need to do something with localName(), I don't know Xpath well enough;
2. use XmlObject.selectPath() to find the node that you want to delete; 3. use XmlObject.newCursor().removeXml() to eliminate the node.
