An "equation" accessory might be useful - two uses spring to mind:
1) Costings:
If the nodes were all the items required for some project, a cost could be attached to each and the sum of all the values in the child nodes shown in the parent.
Special escapes could be used in the node text:
"parent node $[SUM]" --"child node1 text $[32.7]" --"child node2 text $[12.7]"
when the parent node is not being edited it sould display:
"parent node 45.4"
2) Decision making:
assign a value, +ve or -ve to various factors that might influence some decision, with the root showing tha balance.
e.g should I move house?
"SHOULD I MOVE? $[SUM]" --"mail redirection hassle $[-0.3]" --"more space $[+4]" --"tax $[-5]" --"current annoying neighbours [+10]" --etc. --etc.
Any thoughts?
