   Ahbut that's only half the story, it says nothing about the hitherto     
   unknown fact that a nodelist can be updated(overwritten) with a new full     
   nodelist. The way I see it is that the true purpose is that a nodelist can     
   be updated either by using a diff or by using a full nodelist, depending     
   on whether the switch is on or off.
