Working directly with a JSON-style map is fairly easy for many things but a) has no error-checking :D and b) is really crap to query and navigate -- especially you have no way to jump to a parent node from a child node with a raw JSONy structure. So a DOM-like interface on the underlying tree should be *super* helpful. -- brion
