Answer 1

Call the attributes() on the element that contains the attribute and then call remove('attr name') as shown below.

attributes().remove('attr name')

Ah, I couldn't see the attributes() method in the documentation. Thanks for the pointer and also see the final method I came up with. – Seismic

Answer 2

/**
 * Remove all attributes from the root body tag
 */
def removeBodyAttributes() {
    def attributeNames = bodyXml.attributes().collect {it.key}
    println attributeNames
    println bodyXml.attributes()
    attributeNames.each {bodyXml.attributes().remove(it)}
    println bodyXml.attributes()
}
