Maybe it would be better to separate the connections and the objects.
To delete an object would also entail deleting any connections 
referencing that object, which would not affect the remaining objects.
It simplifies parsing the file if the objects are listed first, then the 
connections:

<obj ID="obj1">print
</obj>
<obj ID="obj2">numberbox
</obj>
...
<connect ID="connect1">
<from ID="obj1" outlet="0"/>
<to ID="obj2" outlet="0"/>
</connect>
...
