My plan is to extend the browser-object system with browser-object-lists,
and allow components like hinting to return a list of nodes instead of
just a single one.  Hinting would be extended with facilities that allow
fine-grained control at narrowing down on the list of nodes to return.
Planning it for 2.0.
