Well the idea comes out of a smaller script that I'm working on (mainly for myself at the moment) where I can create little "cuttings" of smaller nodetree setups. Generally depending on the material I'm making there are 2-5 nodes connected up in the same way or similar ways every time. (like a glossy and a diffuse going into a mix controlled with a fresnel or layer weight or a UVMap->Image->Diffuse) and I wanted a way to quickly insert them. I hardcoded a few tree setups like this, but created a function to interpret a JSON object that can more easily store the structure. Anyhow, that is where the idea came from, but OML seems to be a much better way to share full materials.
