The node.getURI() method is slightly different now and is used to 
construct the URL to the navigation node (relative). So it would render 
the site name as well as the "node uri". However I don't like the method 
name, nor am I sure it's exactly what we want.

However I do think it's good to remove any internal separators even tho 
it's very common for tree based structures to use the '/' character. You 
have the String[] value of the node by doing node.getId().getPath(). I 
might add getPath on the node object itself so it's more clear. I would 
like to remove the dependency of the "/foo/bar" notation but I'll think 
about it and if it's that important we can support it.

How do you mean ? Same return signature ? I'm not sure what the 
implications are if I return the node that was removed since the 
underlying impl is connected.
