3. Per Julian's other suggestion, I also support the notion of returning MORE data, like number of children, or an IMAP-like \hasChildren flag for Nodes, in case an SPI wanted to declare that a node definitely has no children (so don't ask), or that there are children, but finding out how many is going to cost you.
I think this can be achieved with the NodeInfo.getChildInfos(). If an implementation was to set a \hasChildren flag to false it simply returns an empty array.
