the resource is accessing the sitetree API and displays what the 
sitetree contains

this is just one possible implementation

this depends on the implementation

it seems to me that you misunderstand because you keep mixing the 
implementation with the API

quite probably, but need to think about it once more, but anyway it's 
orthogonal to the actual sitetree API and I would it an enhancement.

Also please keep in mind that one would like to have other kind of 
"maps", for example topic maps

that's just a matter of using the sitetree API and has nothing to do 
with the above mentioned/described.
