That's the main advantage I saw. With sophisticated style-sheets it
would be possible to represent the tree graphically instead of with
ASCII art. It would also be possible to represent it in different
forms. For example, like this:
node1-----
/ \
node2 node3
/ \
node4 node5
Which, as you can see, is a lot more difficult to represent than the
other form.
