Data structure for Royal Node

struct.js

/**
 * DAG node
 * --------
 */
var tabbar =
[
       { name: "tabname",
         title: "Title",
         thumbnail: "Icon",
         resource_type: "list, movie, image, ...",
         // ... custom properties ...
         getResource: function() { /* return a sub resource if there is one */ },
        },
// ...
]

So yeah, this is looking more and more like a DAG. I really like the idea of using functions to recurse down into the tree.

I think we should take the directed graph idea a step further and just have one datatype. The only property an instance of this datatype MUST have is the resource_type property, and the only method it MUST have is the getResource() method. Everything else is optional meta data, and the template engine can be built to intelligently know what to do based on the resource_type property.
