Comment:

 Create and publish two pages; Parent and Child. Set the parent of the
 latter to be the former. Now delete/un-publish Parent.

 In the database, Child is still a child of Parent.[[BR]]
 In the front end, on the live site, Child will now appear as a top-level
 page.

 If you were to re-publish Parent, the taxonomy would be the same as before
 you un-published it.

 Now there are two problems.

 1. Create a new page. Call it Grandchild. Now, although Child is still
 visible in the front-end and back-end, ''you cannot set it to be the
 parent of Grandchild''.

 2. Edit Child. Save it. Now, the database will be changed so that Child is
 a root page. If you were now to re-publish Parent, Child would no longer
 be a child of it.

 Let me know if you want any more details.
