It is not a "fix", and replacing the containing element is not "plain 
wrong". It is just verbose. But we are talking of computers here. verbosity 
is not the main concern. Unambiguity is. We may want to separate the 
semantics of the XPath for addition and removal. But not doing so does not 
break SED-ML.
