This is one of the reasons that I chose to use extended operations for 
subtree copy, delete and modify.  I submitted an update during the blackout 
period, and I will use this opportunity to resubmit it.  Note also,Michael 
Armijo (who I haven't heard from in a while) wrote a draft sometime back 
for a subtree delete control, which was atomic, and didn't require partial 
updates.  Have you looked at his draft?
