No idea :-)

It certainly does present a problem if you are going to try and have the XML
reflect a tree, huh? I might recommend that the XML which is generated would
look something like:

<tree-delta>
  <directory "/a">
  ...
  </directory>
  <directory "/a/b">
  ...
  </directory>
  <directory "/a/b/c">
  ...
  </directory>
</tree-delta>

Of course, the above format can't be handled by any of our XML code at the
moment, so there is a definite disconnect between our current XML defn and
the implicit capabilities of the editor interface.

You raise a good point, and I don't really have much more of an idea than
that.
