It's already helped to locate one minor bug with unnecessay nodes being
generated when a position is found in the opening book.  The code is structured
so that the tree/node page, as with the narrative page, can be generated at any
time during the search (e.g., during an assertion failure).

The tree/node page will become much more interesting when it can also display
planning formation and planning exploration activities at each node.

It's also a very early prelude to achieving the goal of producing a QuickTime
movie of the whole search process; it's possible to have the nodes output in the
order in which they are visited and revisited.
