okay, i've got an implementation locally that will only remove content 
if the content is something that will be recreated by the current import 
step.  the current behaviour is catastrophic; it removes all content 
from the site root down unless it is explicitly marked as 'preserved' by 
the currently active configuration!

this changes some unit test results, and i need to write another test or 
two, but it's time for bed.  if this seems a reasonable approach i'll 
finish it up and commit the changes on trunk and 1.6 branch.
