This is a mix of a bug report and a feature request.
The engine can handle moving a child node upwards inside the DOM tree => replacing a parent.
example:
old tree:
div id="level-1"
div id="level-2"
div id="level-3"
new tree:
div id="level-1"
div id="level-3"
In this case we get a delta telling "level-3" to replace "level-2". all good.
What does not work:
old tree:
div id="level-1"
div id="level-2"
div id="level-3-1"
div id="level-3-2"
new tree:
div id="level-1"
div id="level-3-1"
div id="level-3-2"
In this case we get the same delta as before: "level-3-1" will replace "level-2" and all other siblings "level-3-x" will get lost.
The desired output would be to move all "level-3-x" nodes into the parentNode "level-1" and then delete the node "level-2".
We need it for layout.Cube, in case we want to switch the owner container to a different layout (e.g. VBox). We might need this one for the Portal App.
I will write a breaking Siesta Test first, then take a look into the engine. If there is not an easy (and not too expensive performance wise) way to fix it, I will do it.
Otherwise we could manually create the desired deltas.
