I guess... I just can not wrap my head around how to get a useable number to
assist in layout... Say that I know the first member will be at the top of the
chart... then the second - is it a sibling? i.e.
<person 1/>
<person 2/>
or is it a child?
<person 1>
<person 2/>
</person>
then .... auhhh I don;t know.... I need to go for a run or something and clear
my head....

Why not go from the top down instead of the bottom up?
