Creating a new field and replacing the old one with the new one is  
the way to go. Deleting subfields is a bit tricky since subfields may  
repeat, and sometimes people just want to delete one of them. An  
unfortunate state of affairs perhaps. If someone can suggest an  
easier API for doing this I'm open to suggestions :-)
