Hi guys,

Since soon I will implement the new sortables for trees I need your 
opinion on how to implement serialization. I want to implement more then 
one version.

So consider the next HTML

<ul id="root">
    <li id="item_1">
        <ul>
            <li id="item_21"></li>
            <li id="item_34"></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li id="item_4"></li>
    <li id="item_7"></li>
</ul>

When you make your suggestion please use this as reference. You can 
change the IDs if your situation requires it.

*Method 1
*I'm using nested sets to store hierarchical data in database so this 
fits me:
item[1][]=1        - parent id
item[1][]=1        - level
item[1][]=1        - left id
item[1][]=6        - right id
item[21][]=1    - parent id
item[21][]=2    - level
item[21][]=2    - left id
item[21][]=3    - right id
item[34][]=1    - parent id
item[34][]=2    - level
item[34][]=4    - left id
item[34][]=5    - right id
item[4][]=4        - parent id
item[4][]=1        - level
item[4][]=7        - left id
item[4][]=8        - right id
item[7][]=7        - parent id
item[7][]=1        - level
item[7][]=9        - left id
item[7][]=10    - right id


I will use 4 days then release the plugin based on your feedback. Sure 
later I can add more versions for serialization, but will be nice to 
have them at the first release.

Stefan
