Aye,  NS tree would allow you to do this stuff very quickly without loading
obscene amounts of data.  Its one disadvantage though is that it is slower
on updates as you have to reorder the tree,  but most web aps are heavy
read light write and this is not a big deal.

The old version of mojomojo had a NS tree in CDBI (in-line SQL) which shows
all of the sql in context of a webapp.  I think this is being rewritten in
DBIx::Class, but I am not sure on the progress.  Also Bluefeet (IRC) was
also working on a Tree module that supports NS generally on DBIC..
