Re: 15 Insert/Delete Examples updated in Editor's draft

Hi Nick,

In the interest of expedience, I addressed this point by simply removing 
the alternate versions.

The alternate versions weren't really alternates, as you said, but were 
attempts to show why one would *not* want to do these operations without 
using the context attribute.  In a "Tips, tricks and traps" book, these 
would be called "traps".  Without the alternate versions, the text still 
has an explanatory note stating why context was used, and that does appear 
to be sufficient.

John & all,

The examples are really good, but I personally think that the 'Alternate 
Version of Operation' is going to confuse people who quickly read through 
the spec, if the alternative is not really an 'alternative version' in 
some border cases (e.g.: if the parent has no children, when the operation 

is executed).  I know that this is pointed out in the beginning of every 
example, but I think it will be a bit more clear if we move the part 'The 
alternate version of the operation ...' of the note to a separate note 
after the alternative version.
