The problem is that it's a tree, not a list. So it's significantly more difficult to display. True. But that's all the more reason to do it. If people can only manifest the tree one node at a time (as Richard suggested: go to an inherited face, go to a face inherited by that inherited face, etc.), then they will quickly lose the forest for the trees (actually, lose the tree for the branches). A tree can also be collapsed, to save space. Don't we have a widget tree thing that could be used here?
