Doing so leads to the surprising conclusion that the choice between dual- node and unified-node worlds is actually a fairly minor one. That being so, we can stay with the dual-node world for now. Indeed, the following are true regardless of how many parts a node has: - The Graph World data structures, particularly fully populated position stacks, will simplify either world considerably. In fact, fully populated position stacks provide much of the benefits of the unified node world, and prepare Leo for the graph world. I may create a new branch to press on with this experimental code in the dual-node world. The work I have already done is worth pursuing. For example, recent work has highlighted some bad coding practices that should be eliminated from Leo's core whatever else happens. - The sax read code opens up new vistas in Leo's file format. It might be good to choose a format that will make sense in both dual- node and unified-node worlds. You could say that we can mix and match these various elements in various bzr branches. That will probably happen, but for now I may make just a few more notes and then move on to more urgent matters.
