I did it like so because Yehuda told me on Rails should be like that. I 
need more input on this.

Why not. The DOM structure is a nested set. I think is easy to get the 
right IDs

Never thought of that, but will be a very nice feature. But the hole 
tree must be parsed because of the left and right IDs .

This is not the jogb for this plugin. You can do it your self and once 
you insert the new items add them to the sortable

well, the root element has as parent it's own ID. I used ID root as a 
habit because I always start with a node named root on my nested sets.
