I think you are correct if we were able to apply the openItems array to the tree, but in this special case, when we store the IDs, and use e4x to find the node, I think we'll lose that ancestor information.

The only reason I dont think you need to do this is that I *believe* that the openItems field captures all of the ancestors that are open, so that if you take a snapshot of the open items gathering a list of ids of open items you can later just open those because the openItems field captures everything open in the hierarchy.
