Terence sez:

<snip> Once you have a 
tree, you need to walk it either by hand or by grammar.  By grammar, 
you can serialize a tree by adding imaginary nodes UP and DOWN that 
encode 2D aspect.  

Jeff sez:
 
So, why aren't there UP and DOWN tokens in the tree metalanguage? Or am I missing something? Methinks that would coolify a TreeWalker.
