I think the addition of dummy entries to nodelist segments would satisfy any
need to specify where a node was placed in the nodelist hierachy, if that was
at all necessary, ie.

Address 3:3/0
Status Zone

Address 3:54/0
Parent 3:3/0
Status Region

Address 3:712/0
Parent 3:54/0
Status Host

Address 3:712/61
Parent 3:712/0
Status Hub

Address 3:712/848
Parent 3:712/61
Name sysgod.org
Location Riverwood NSW
Operator Scott Little

Admittedly it is longer, but it IS human readable.  :-)
