The structure is still being considered.. that's the tricky bit. If we knew
how to arrange the data we'd be writing code right now.

That's just two possible ways of listing the same node (60 and 100 have the
same data, except their name) - using attributes of an element (name= sysop=
flags= etc), and using sub-elements (<name> <flags> etc), and just one way of
nesting the addressing structure (Nodes as sub elements of a Hub, rather than
as attributes of the nodes).
