And thus the 'right' or 'obvious' spanning tree may not be
the one that two people care about. So marking up the
data in some interesting way to describe whatever goofy tree
some software came up with so that I pass it to someone else
MIGHT be something to consider in caveXML.
The idea here is that one program with the good math or data structures
in it, could generate useful conscructs for a simplier consumer
of that data. If the actual consumer of the data wants to build its
own version of the spanning tree, there is no requirement that it
use what is shown any more than if someone ships 'fancy' cross sections
all applications have to use those values to draw pictures.
