Fred,

That's my mental model, except that I think of the locators
as LOC0, LOC1, etc to allow for the inevitable hierarchy.
I had also assumed there would need to be a hierarchy of maps,
with HIT<->LOC0 as the lowest level map, but Scott Brim obviously
has another model in mind (I need to think a bit more before
replying to Scott).
