Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-673:
---------------------------------------------

Would this change allow some rationalization of the type hierachy for nodes?  
Every "node" is a sub-class of QueryTreeNode, but it seems to me that several 
nodes are forced into the hierachy  through the use of the NodeFactory. Any 
"node" that is really a data element would seem to fall into this. E.g. 
TableName, TableElementNode and its sub-classes. It's possible those nodes do 
not need to be sub-classes of QueryTreeNode.
