That's very good. It means that out of the box sling support lists of nodes.
However, I have the feeling that the approach is not consistent with the processing of a simple resource. Following the Lars cheatsheet, I would have expected to have the step 2 (content resolution) being able to handle queries, and then having step 3 deriving a nice ressource type (employee/list for instance) followed then by normal rendering steps. That would allow for instance to have list rendered into xml of html, and not only json. And moreover, I feel that would have made the model more consistent. Is my point of view correct, or did I have the wrong paradigm glasses? My jcr-foo is too limited to say if such approach would be possible, and if it is it will certainly require some magic. But when I look at sling, it is what I see : 'Magic'.
