[Miase-discuss] ChangeXML and inclusion

[Nicolas Le n. <le...@eb...>]

Ion noted that inserting XML is not elegant at the moment since the XPath 
of target identifies the piece of XML to replace. Inserting a species in 
SBML means replacing the whole listOfSpecies.

One easy solution would be to add an attribute changeType, that could take 
two values: "insertion" and "replacement" (note that deletion is a 
replacement by nothing).

changeType="insertion" means insert the "newXML" at the address specified 
by the target attribute.

changeType="replacement" means replace the "newXML" at the address 
specified by the target attribute.
