I see. interesting :)

That would be good, if TW would use it :) Searching trees is much faster,
if you create them in the right way. So if a search can bail out early.
eg:
continent1 continent2
country 1.1 country 2.1
country 1.2 country 2.2
community 1.2.1
community 1.2.2
So if you search for somethng and you know that it shold be on continent 2
and you find a tree node that has continent 1 in it, you know, that you
don't need to go down this route. Since everything stored there is part of
continent 1. so you can eliminate a lot of nodes, with just one compare.
The probelm here is. TW doesn't use a tree like structure to store its
data.

It depends on your target device. On a PC there are several databases, that
don't need a LAMP stack.
You can run databases on many systems, not just linux but if you want to
have the stuff on a mobile, you'll have a different problem anyway.
Databases can have there server with them.
I didn't think about MySQL or an SQL like database at all.
No P... javascript :)

So it should be for a PC?
