Hmm. I see what you mean. Right now, we have an artificially imposed
requirement that one delta-pkg contains one tree-delta. We could
allow it to contain multiple tree-deltas. Would that do any harm?

(I guess then you'd output the "<delta-pkg>" when get_xml_editor() is
called, not when replace_root() is called... Not sure when it's done
right now.)

Well, I don't see a problem with just doing the obvious thing, but I
have a feeling JimB's brain has been all over this ground, and want to
hear what he has to say. Poor guy, he's gonna have one heck of a mail
spool to catch up on when he gets back tomorrow. :-)
