Description Jim Melton 2006-03-07 01:33:56 UTC 
(Initially raised by Dana F.)

Do we want to consider "detach" semantics for the delete expression, in which
the deleted nodes are detached from their parents but remain accessible in the values of bound variables?
Comment 1 Daniela Florescu 2006-08-01 16:54:27 UTC 
The latest update document already includes the resolution 
for this question. A deleted node is simply detached from its
parent.
Comment 2 Jim Melton 2007-05-04 21:22:29 UTC 
The resolution of this bug was posted nine months ago, so we are marking it CLOSED.
