Nicely done, Gus. And, considering that the article is about a fix you made for an actual problem having to do with Adjacency and Nested Set methods, I don't have a problem with leaving out the Path method.
I almost wish I had some hierarchy problems so I could use your good method and, heh..., justify the need for 2k8.
