While this is certainly the case, in the previous discussion on this issue
from last year, it was not agreed that the semantics of a subtree delete
were identical to the semantics of a series of "atomic" delete operations
due to access control issues. There was some feeling that you would not
necessarily want the subtree delete operation to be partially successful.
I.e., if you couldn't delete all of the entries in the subtree, then no
entries in the subtree were to be deleted.
