I said "optional", not "capability".  Optional in that it shouldn't
be _required_ to create a node.  Is that what the argument is over?

My comment was that as an optional attribute, fine, but not a
mandatory one.  If I have a chunk of xml to add, I shouldn't have
to transform it to add a useless attribute when I want to add the
entire chunk.

    <foo>
      <goo/>
    </foo>

should always make foo and goo.

   <foo create="create">
     <goo/>
   </foo>

should create foo (and goo) if and only if foo does not
exist.

Thanks,
 Phil
