Description

When trying to remove a specific element and its child elements (i.e., deep-drop) using stax transform feature, it fails to remove the element when there are some attributes present in that element.

This error is indicated by the following exception stack trace:

javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Trying to write an attribute when there is no open start element.
