This is just what I was saying (but I still prefer Container to TreeNode
or BranchNode).

Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy.  Dennett and Bennett are 
well-known.
Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites 
Dennett.
There is also one Dummett.  By their works shall ye know them.  However, just 
as
no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is 
hardly
known by his works.  Indeed, Bummett does not exist.  It is part of the 
function
of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create 
him.
