For all I care (right now), all major browsers render it correctly, except
IE which even at version 10 is too illiterate to translate *:before* and *
:after* selectors. Chances are that TW in general or one with
NodeTreePlugin in it won't pass a validator test, so perhaps it is more
advisable to use all spans and give them corresponding classes, e.g. *
nt-parent*, *nt-list*, *nt-item*, *nt-separator*, etc... and cuck all that
in some outer *nodetree *wrapper.

To be honest, I do *not* fully comprehend how exactly the actual formatter
code works. If you can walk me through that some time, I'd appreciate. In
general, I would think that a <tl> would semantically be contained inside a
<tp> rather than follow it... this would definetely remove the need for an
additional class as we'd have our <tp> wrapping it all. But then the actual
tree parent content would have to be wrapped again in some ".nt-parent"
class so as to separate it from the adjacent <tl> in terms of being able to
style it, i.e give it that background image and perhaps some other visual
characteristics later on.
