Has no XML method to remove children

Need to create dummy XML, set as children and then remove it.

So the next example. We have an XML object named ourWorkXML:

<data>
    <nodes>
          <item/>
          <item/>
          <item/>
    </nodes>
</data>

And we want to remove all item. Then what we write:

var nodes:XML=ourWorkXML.nodes;
nodes.setChildren(<dummy/>)
delete nodes.dummy;

We just replace all children witn one child but we know its name. And we no need to remove every children with cycle.
