xmlmassupdate

For example, I have this line:

<forms loginUrl="/redirecttosignin.aspx" name="NAME_HERE" requireSSL="false" timeout="60" domain=".blah.com" />

And I want to delete the "name" attribute altogether. I know I can do this to blank it:

<forms xmu:key="loginUrl" loginUrl="/redirecttosignin.aspx" name="" />

But, I literally want to get the name attribute out, and leave the other attributes in tact. Couldn't find any examples of that.

Thanks!
