Given parent, which is a bound element, and anon, which is an anonymous
child of the bound element, how can I get rid of anon?
parent.removeChild(anon) doesn't work for obvious reasons.

You can't. XBL is not designed to do that. What's the use case?

Ah. I'd start off by not allowing deletion of anonymous content for
now, probably.... There's really just no way to do it, and often enough
it's not even clear what it would mean to do it.
