Yes, I agree. SimpleXML is limited.
Do not expect to find advanced features in SimpleXML.

Why can't you just recreate the XML and skip the node you don't want to
include?  So something like below:

foreach ($xmlDatabase as $oneTable)
{
    // skip node you don't want in your final xml output
    if ($oneTable['name'] != 'two')
    {
        ....
    }
}
