It's a wording mistake. I meant to restrict the processing to
something that could easily be turned into a tree-shaped structure.

That's true.

That delta structure has gone through several major revisions as we've
changed exactly what we wanted to do with it. At one point, I had in
mind a very unrestricted kind of interface, like the one the
filesystem provides, and like the one I think the WC library should
provide (maybe it does?). But if you want to produce restricted
forms, then a lot of the complexity can go away.
