New structural data format

[Vimala]

I had been thinking about the tree structure and came across the same issues. I was wondering how you were going to solve that. This sounds very logical and practical to work with.

Perhaps not directly relevant, but how can we handle “in-between” data? For example, in the PTS dict, the refs are in vol/page form. But typically they don’t point to the first page of the text, especially in long suttas.

The same issue applies to the representation of the parallels. the Taisho numbers also don’t always correspond directly with the exact text you want to mark as parallel and neither do the PTS.
