Wix XmlConfig rename root element

Question

Is it possible to rename a root element in an XML file using either XmlConfig or XmlFile? For example:

<config>
  <settings>
    <some setting="true" />
    ....
   </settings>
</config>

I want to rename "settings" while keeping everything in between the settings tags. So I'd like the result to be:

<config>
  <NEWsettings>
    <some setting="true" />
    ....
   </NEWsettings>
</config>

You cannot rename elements but you can copy all of them to a new node and delete the old node. Not ideal but you can let XmlConfig do the heavy lifting by adding temporary records to the table as answered in this question.
