I meant my advice to apply only to Nodes. PathElements are not Nodes.
For example, there is no CSS applied to them, only to the containing
Path. I would just clear() and recreate them on each layout, if that
is simpler. Since they are not nodes (thus not part of the scene graph
by themselves), the comment about not modifying grand-children in
layoutChildren does not apply to them.
