Sure.  When's good for you?

Looks like an interesting format.  Only thing I'd change would be to add 
assignments to the format, e.g.:

foo = publication.traverseName(request, root, 'foo')

instead of just:

publication.traverseName(request, root, 'foo')

As I found it often hard to follow where the variables were showing up from.
