I'm about to delete certain elements in an XML document, using code like the following:

NodeList nodes = ...;
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
  Element e = (Element)nodes.item(i);
  if (certain criteria involving Element e) {
    e.getParentNode().removeChild(e);
  }
}

Will this interfere with proper traversal of the NodeList? Any other caveats with this approach? If this is totally wrong, what's the proper way to do it?
