this is a good idea, but maybe you can do this with a different data
set than your original data. there may be some circumstance where you
want your original data intact, regardless of how processing completed
or not.

you can keep track with a counter for each node processed [requires an
additional step to count nodes in recovery]. or maybe you can just
copy the nodes you have processed to another file.

if you're using the DOM, removeChild()

as reliable as anything. how much effort is it worth to trap for this
error case? i'd say not much, but YMMV.
