It's simple. Instead of getting this...
[body]
|
+-[unknown attrib1="1" attrib2="2" attrib3="3" style="display: span"]
|
+-[child1]
|
+-[child2]
|
+-[child3]
...You get this...
[body]
|
+-[unknown attrib1="1" attrib2="2" attrib3="3" style="display: none"]
|
+-[child1]
|
+-[child2]
|
+-[child3]
|
+-[/unknown style="display: none"]
