Remove ALL xml

Question

My company is changing processes away from an xml based workflow, so we have hundreds of InDesign files that need to have the xml removed. I'm writing a script that will do it automatically, but I'm having problems untagging all of the text. Most files have a structure like this:
My starting script here:
/*REMOVE TAGS*/
myDoc.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.everyItem().untag();
try{
myDoc.xmlInstructions[0].remove();
catch(e){};
myDoc.deleteUnusedTags();
var myRoot = myDoc.xmlTags[0].name;
$.writeln(myRoot);
myDoc.xmlTags.itemByName(myRoot).name = "Root";
/*END REMOVE TAGS*/
gives me this result:
I need help untagging the text leftover in the 'Root' tag so that my final result is this:
Any advice?

@T-Stevens – we already had that solved here.
See the following:
Re: "Untag Frame" menu action is invalid [CS5 Win XP]
Here the "long" version:
Hans Haesler at www.hilfdirselbst.ch once wrote the following snippet:
app.documents[0].xmlElements[0].xmlElements.everyItem().untag();
The root element might be left over now.
Gregor Fellenz did the following "hack" to get rid of it as well:
var tempRect = app.documents[0].rectangles.add();
tempRect.markup(app.documents[0].xmlElements[0]);
tempRect.remove();
Don't know, if that will work for you…
