The LMNL's overlapping hierarchies for some crazy reason bring to mind how
complex waveforms are constructed from overlapping simple sinusoidal waves.

Is LMNL a superimposition of trees?   Is it possible to represent trees in a
way that allows them to be superimposed into an LMNL? 

1. <a>    </a>
2.        <b           z="...">             </b>
3.                                        <c/>

4.  <a><b></a> z="...><c/></b>       {albeit in appropriate LMNL notation,
of course!}
 

A nutty idea, perhaps.  But from little nuts, tiny acorns grow.   Er, no,
wait.... how's that go again?
