 I know that.  Now I remember.  Them man page says (under the "vlanif"
 item): "To change the association to another physical interface, the
 existing association must be cleared first."
 
 This implies that the association can be cleared without destroying the
 vlan(4) interface.  Only it doesn't describe how the association can
 actually be cleared.
