delete node doc("test.html")/*:html/*:body/*:p[1]

As one that has had some experience in erring, I would never use such

A general, good design principle: Dangerous operations should be made
difficult to trigger/perform.

The problem with the wonderful modified identity template is that it

XSLT has a problem if it is only good at total war.
